According to police records, the killed terrorist was categorised as ultra and involved in several terror crime cases, including attacks on police and civilians.

“It is pertinent to mention here that the killed terrorist was active in the Kulgam-Shopian area and was trying to revive the terror folds of the JeM terror outfit by recruiting & motivating the gullible youth to join terror folds, besides planning to execute terror attacks,” the spokesman said.
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Kashmir Vijay Kumar congratulated the joint team of police and security forces for conducting the successful operation without any collateral damage.
He termed the operation a big success as a possible threat of fidayeen and other terrorist attacks were thwarted by his elimination.
