Manhunt Underway for Lashkar-e-Taiba Militant Suspected in Kulgam CRPF Attack
Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district are conducting a manhunt following an attack on a CRPF checkpoint that injured three personnel, one critically. Investigators suspect Lashkar-e-Taiba militant Mohammad Lateef Bhat, a local and most-wanted terrorist linked to previous attacks, including killings in July. The assailants used a shoot-and-scoot tactic and fled toward nearby forests. Authorities have deployed reinforcements and are tracking Bhat, who reportedly operates with local support and foreign handlers across South Kashmir.
