Top Hizbul Mujahideen commander arrested from Bandipora : North, News - India Today

A top commander of Hizbul Mujahideen militant outfit has been arrested by security forces from Bandipora district of Kashmir Valley, police said on Monday.

Junaid, who used aliases Manzoor and Arshad and was working with the outfit for the past 14 years, was arrested in Turkpora area of north Kashmir's Bandipora district last Wednesday, a police spokesman said.

On specific information about presence of a militant in a house in the area, Army and police had conducted a joint operation and cordoned off a house, where Junaid was hiding.

He tried to break the cordon and escape, but he was overpowered and arrested, the spokesman said.

He said the forces recovered one AK-56 rifle with two magazines and 60 rounds from his possession.

Junaid, the police said, was also working as a guide and helped militant groups to cross the Line of Control in the Valley.

He had managed to escape last month from the neighbouring Ganderbal district when Army and police killed five militants in a nocturnal raid.

His arrest was kept under wraps due to ongoing anti-militancy operations based on the information provided by him to the police during questioning.

It is interesting, since last few months terrorists are getting caught frequently.

Either Indian Police is getting active or they have became dumb. Or may be they came to know benefits of imprisonment in India after watching kasab and Afzal guru treated royally..

Top Hizbul Mujahideen commander arrested from Bandipora : North, News - India Today

Our security personnels have done a fine job by arresting another terrorist ! Thanks to them, period. Jai Hind

However, when do they realise that, announcing that to whole world is not in a best interest of our nations security ? Why can't they simply arrest them (terrorists), squeeze all the required info out of that turd and execute him in a void ?

It seems, our guys will leave not even a single attempt of Chest Thumping

It has little to do with chest thumping, imagine what happens when a senior commander of a militant group surrenders & this information is strategically used in the print and electronic media, it gnaws slowly into the morale of other militants in the " tanzeem" and their will to fight breaks down, as they reason to themselves" if the die hard seniors are surrendering ,why should we the neo initiates continue the struggle". breaking the will to fight of the enemy is a well worn military maxim.

Sir, I agree on your views ! However, he has not surrendered willingly but was arrested ! If at all, should the news come out in media, officials should make sure that, they get what they are looking for prior to any announcements.

Simply arresting the terrorist, blowing the trumpet in front of media, alerting his henchmen, feeding him BIRYANI's in the jail and giving him Z+ security doesn't make any sense. The sick and snail like judiciary system of ours adds a feather in the cap !!!

I totally agree, no arrests, surrenders in large numbers , YES !! let us reduce the existing scum by knocking off during encounters, any arrest made, will have to be accounted for !!

I find it difficult to comprehend, why we have not been able to deal in poisons like arsenic/ mercury / lead in the JIC with arrested militants like Mullah Omar & that fat ass amir of JuD ??. Make them ingest slow poisons in their meals and let them cop it when released ??

Good idea however, it requires political will ! With the current sickular govt. it would be a distant dream only.

Junaid, the police said, was also working as a guide and helped militant groups to cross the Line of Control in the Valley.

Bandipora, Wular, Gandherbal has a large Gujjar and Bakarwal population, who are sheep/ goat herders and pastoral. During the summer month they go to their 'dhoks' up in the high mountains to graze their herd. Hence, they are very familiar with the mountains and the various trails, caves and so on.

They are thus ideal as 'guides' for the militants and they are used extensively.

The area of Bandipore is a stepping stone to the higher reaches of Razdan, Gurez and Tragbal, which are ideal for infiltration since the area is forested, rugged and difficult.

One of the favourite terrorist hideout area, the Lolab valley in Kupwara district, is adjacent to Bandipora.

The Wular Lake that is in between is another 'safe' passage from these areas to South Kashmir. However, it is heavily patrolled by the MARCOS.

In short, these areas are ideal and are accepted to be an area that has a high density of terrorists.

Kuka Parry, originally a terrorist, but later founded his pro-India militant outfit, Ikhwan-ul-Muslemoon that targeted top pro-Pakistani militants, is also from this area. He was killed by the terrorists, at Hajan, which is near the Wular Lake.

I have interacted with Kuka Parry and it was very difficult to imagine that such a roly poly and pleasant person could have been a top terrorist!

Hamid Gada (Bambar Khan), who was another top terrorist, was located in the Bandipore area. Though deeply influenced by the Jamaat-e-Islami's far-right brand of Islam, was also a great devotee of Kheer Bhawani located in Tullmula. His father, Khaliq Bhatt, has worked for decades looking after the Kheer Bhawani temple. And Fayyaz Bhatt, Hamid Gada's brother, is a Special Police Officer (SPO) who works with an anti-terrorist unit of the Jammu and Kashmir Police! That is the paradox of Kashmir.

Good idea however, it requires political will ! With the current sickular govt. it would be a distant dream only.

As it is, things are not smooth, it would only feed fat to the fire.

One can have the basest of emotions but one cannot lose his sense of propriety because one rash action will give immense propaganda to people like Gilani to make the Valley burn.

It would then leave no option but to do what Sri Lanka did to the LTTE? Commit a genocide.

I don't think that would be a good idea.

Sir, good idea or not, for how long we have to suffer with this Kashmir issue ? 66 years are not enough ?

Why are we even sparing those radical mooncalves in the first place ?

Justice, humanity blah blah blah... all such things have made us weak and they are talking the advantage of our weakness.

it seems he is arrested long time ago and used information from him to launch anti terrorist operations.
small logic if some important commander of any organization gets arrested it takes only few days for others to realize something has gone wrong regarding his absence,making them alert.so our forces should act very quick.

judiciary of india---we cant help

A valid point.

The day politics is stop being played, things will become better.

The political dynamics at work is the India - Pakistan shadow play, the Union and Kashmir equation impregnated with chicanery to dominate in politics, the paid agents like Gilani, who are said to be paid by both sides, and their political skulduggery, Pakistan's requirement to export terrorists who are otherwise causing more trouble at home that Pakistan can chew, the horrendous corruption prevalent in Kashmir that is bleeding it and no worthwhile infrastructure or job opportunities being created et al and above all, the the Union Govt's sole ambition to play 'good man the lalten' or he is a Jolly good fellow.

How long would it take to encourage the popular dissent in NWFP, Baluchistan, Balwraistan, Sind, Saraiki Movement, the Shia Sunni divide?

Let Pakistan bleed and let the chaos thereof distract the terrorists to look after their personal agenda, depending on their clan and community make up.

Why dirty your hands and reputation when you can use your brain?

I see that you are flying s Saffron Flag.

I take it that you are a Modi supporter.

Is Modi, who is said to be Hinduvta man, going gung ho propagating Hinduvta?

No.

He is using his brains to the chagrin of others who want to catch him on the hip.

He is going on in the full force of a gale on Development and good Governance and nothing more.

It appears that he is left the Hinduvta card to those who are known to be strong advocates of the same, like the VHP, Bajrang Dal, Togadias and the Singhals.

In other word, he has kept all guessing and his opponent frustrated and tearing their hair, as none can accuse him of playing the Hindu card!

That is an example of achieving one's aim through brain power!

Yes, that's a Bhagawa Dhwaj, maily used by RSS.

This is true as well. Well, I support NaMo for various reasons not just because he his Hindutvawadi.
