Security forces have killed over 66 terrorists this year, out of which 27 terrorists were of proscribed terror organization Jaish-e-Mohammad. The security forces have been successful in eliminating terrorists this year, especially after the Pulwama attack. 19 Jaish terrorists are killed within the 45 days after the drastic Pulwama attack.

 

 

This has been done through a combination of technical and human intelligence based operations conducted by the armed forces in J&K. This also includes the arrest of the Jaish fighters who were involved in the operation in any way. The inputs were received during the interrogation of 40 over ground workers of Jaish. The Jaish terrorists killed by the security forces include Kamran, who was neutralized on February 18, Mushashir Ahmed Khan on March 11 and Sajjad Bhat on March 11.

 

 

 

Two terrorists including Nisar Ahmed Tantray and Sajjad are in NIA custody for their role in the terror attack. Tantray had helped the suicide bomber Aadil Ahmed Dar by getting a vehicle-based improvised explosive device from Yasir, a Pakistan based Jaish terrorist.
