Hizbul militant who killed 7 in Kulgam identified, Rs 10 lakh bounty declared


Srinagar, May 3 (PTI): The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information on Umer Majid, a suspected Hizbul Mujahideen militant responsible for killing seven people including five policemen at Kulgam in South Kashmir earlier this week.

Posters of Majid were pasted on the walls of Kulgam, a district located 90 km from here, announcing the cash reward that may lead the security agencies to him, police said. Earlier, a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh was announced.

They said 22-year-old Majid, who hails from Suchi village of Kulgam district, was identified by police with the help of some locals as well as the driver of the treasury van that came under Hizbul Mujahideen militants' attack on May 1 in Kulgam.

Majid joined Hizbul Mujahideen terror group last year and has been active in this area for quite some time, police said, adding he has been responsible for earlier acts of terror in and around Kulgam.

Police said Ishfaq Palla, an overground worker for Hizbul, had also been identified and hunt has been launched to nab these two.

Last night, raids were carried out at various places in the district as well as adjoining Shopian following a tip off about the presence of the two who had killed seven people including five policemen.

    For whoever criticizing .... please note...Present govt has given freehand to Army to retaliate the way they wish. Refrain from commenting if you don't have correct info. If Modi declares war, you will be the first to cry foul about ill effects of war, again blaming​ Modi. So please have some patience, let Army do it's work and give them time to frame a strategy. It's not a one night job to plan such strikes and they aren't going to inform u in advance, u arnt that special. If you fail to understand this, you are just criticizing govt for just the sake of criticizing. That will be pathetic.

    THEY WANT MODI BACK.
