Police in the Doda District shot dead two top militants of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit, including a ‘tehsil commander’, in Batyas forests under the jurisdiction of Gandoh Police station and recovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition from their possession, Daily Excelsior reported. Senior Superintendent of Police Prabhat Singh said a Police party was conducting searches in Batyas forests for the last three days after receiving specific information that top HM militants have developed hideouts there. The militants, who had taken shelter in a natural hideout, opened fire on the Police personnel, who retaliated.

Zahoor had crossed over to Pakistan in 1995 and returned the next year after arms training. Since 1996, he was operating in parts of Doda and Kishtwar Districts. Sajjad had joined militancy in May 2008 and was working as a close associate of Zahoor. Recoveries made from their possession include two AK-56 rifles, three magazines, 17 rounds, one radio set, one mobile telephone, two hand grenades and a large quantity of ration, incriminating documents etc. With this incident, a total of six commanders of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and HM outfits have been killed in Doda District during the past couple of months.

"Two militants have been killed so far … the firing has stopped but combing operations are still continuing," Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Brar said. In Jammu, Reasi Police officers identified the slain militants as Manzoor Ahmad alias Saddam Hussain son of Ghulam Mohammad and Bashir Ahmad alias Rashid son of Habib Sheikh, both residents of Neoch Badr in the Mahore area of Reasi District.

Saddam was operating in the District since 1995 and was wanted in over a dozen FIRs at different Police stations of Reasi. He was instrumental in a number of massacres, abduction and extortions.
