LeT Commander Suspected in CRPF Attack in Kashmir's Kulgam

Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have launched a massive search operation following a militant attack on CRPF jawans in Kulgam district that left three personnel wounded. The attack has triggered heightened security measures across the region as investigative agencies work to identify those responsible for the assault.

Police and security officials are examining CCTV footage and other evidence gathered from the attack site as part of their ongoing investigation. The assault marks the latest in a series of militant incidents reported in the Kashmir Valley in recent months.

Intelligence agencies suspect that Mohammad Latif Bhat, a local commander of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), may be involved in orchestrating the attack. The LeT, designated as a terrorist organization by multiple governments, has been linked to numerous militant operations across the region.

Following the incident, security forces have intensified operations across the Kulgam area, conducting raids and searches at multiple locations. The heightened alert reflects concerns over the uptick in militant activity in the district and efforts to apprehend those responsible for the attack on the CRPF personnel.
