Security forces eliminate Bagu Khan, aka Samandar Chacha, often called the "human GPS" of terror, in Gurez, ending his decades-long role in over 100 infiltration attempts.
The killing of Bagu Khan will give a major blow to the 'logistical network' of terror outfits in the area.
He has been based in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK) since 1995.
One of the oldest and most prolific facilitators of infiltration, Bagu Khan, was shot dead along with another terrorist during an infiltration attempt from the Nowshera Naar area.
He had been playing key role(s) in 'facilitating' more than 100 infiltration attempts from various areas of the Gurez sector, with the majority being successful due to his intimate knowledge of the region’s tough terrains.
Hence, his elimination is a critical breakthrough from the security apparatus point of view.
While he was a Hizbul commander, he helped every terror outfit in planning and executing infiltrations from the Gurez and neighbouring sectors along the Line of Control.
After evading security forces for years, his luck ran out during the latest infiltration attempt. This encounter came two days after the two terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control in the Gurez sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district were gunned down by the Indian Army on Thursday.
The encounter took place near Naushehra Naar under Operation Naushera Nar IV, where alert troops engaged a group of heavily armed infiltrators trying to cross into Indian territory. A brief exchange of fire ensued, resulting in the elimination of two terrorists.
