New LeT-linked terror group module dismantled after raids across Kashmir: J&K Police | India News
The J&K Police’s Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing has conducted operations across several districts of the Kashmir Valley on Tuesday and said that it busted the recruitment module of a newly formed militant group with links to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).
According to police, they conducted the operations after getting inputs about an “active” militant module. Raids were carried out in several locations across Srinagar, Budgam and Ganderbal in central Kashmir; Kulgam, Anantnag and Pulwama in south Kashmir; and Bandipora in north Kashmir.
Police identified the newly formed militant organisation as Tehreek-e-Labaik Ya Mulism (TLM), which they said was an offshoot of the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).
The busted recruitment module of the TLM was run by a Pakistan-based Lashkar commander called Baba Hamas, police said.
The operations come two days after seven people, most of them from outside J&K, were killed in a terror attack on a camp housing employees of an infrastructure company that was building a tunnel in Ganderbal district. Two gunmen had opened indiscriminate fire at the camp on Sunday, in the first major attack faced by an infrastructure project in J&K.
