Investigations Link Lashkar-e-Taiba to Kulgam CRPF Attack and New Proxy Group
Investigations into the Kulgam attack on a CRPF camp reveal involvement of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives, including local handler Mohammad Lateef Bhat and cross-border handler Sajjad Gul. The attack involved coordinated firing using AK-47s and armour-piercing ammunition from a forested area, injuring three CRPF personnel. Security agencies have questioned over 500 people and detained 20 suspects, uncovering support networks and logistical aid from local over ground workers. LeT’s new proxy group, Pasdaran-e-Hurriyat Kashmir, claimed responsibility, likely as a diversion from key suspects.
