Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind Wiped Out From Kashmir: J&K DGP Dilbagh Singh

Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh on Wednesday said the Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind outfit has been completely wiped out from Kashmir with the killing of three militants, including the terror group’s top commander Hamid Lelhari in an encounter in Awantipora on Tuesday.

“Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind has been wiped out,” Dilbagh Singh said in a press conference in Srinagar.

He said after Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind chief Zakir Musa was killed, command was given to Hamid Lelhari. He had motivated Naveed and Junaid of Pulwama to join him. The outfit had been coordinating with Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen.

“Lelhari was active since 2016. He was involved in the attack at Kakapora. He was also involved in the killing of policeman Fayaz Ahmed and civilians. He was also involved in harassing people at Awantipora and Pulwama,” Singh said.

All the three Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind militants killed were Kashmiris. The second militant killed was identified as Naveed. Junaid, the third killed had his militant brother also killed in an encounter earlier.

“We feel sorry that two of them were from the same family and on the wrong path,” Dilbagh Singh said.

He said after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, lesser number of local boys have become militants as compared to earlier. He said five to six boys are missing during this time, “Maybe they are missing due to some other reasons and not militancy,” Dilbagh Singh said.
