| Pak supported militants lure even BSF for training new recruits | | | Besides attacking the police post or police stations militants, particulary from Pakistan, have devised a s new strategy to woo people from the elite BSF and this strategy was disclosed during the recent days when a BSF jawan was arrested in Kupwara on charge of imparting training in handling of weapons to the militants..The Border Security Force (BSF) man, who was arrested in the frontier district of Kupwara, was directed by the Hizbul Mujahideen to teach basics of handling of weapons to new recruits, according to the police. The J&K Police claimed to have busted a Hizbul Mujahideen module in Kupwara by arresting BSF Constable Shakir Wani, 29, and Ghulam Mustafa Sheikh, 27, both residents of Tekipora, Lolab. The police said the two were over-ground workers (OGWs) of the Hizb and were engaged in providing logistic support to militants apart from luring more youth into the path of violence.police said a Hizb militant based in Kupwara had advised Shakir Wani a few months ago to work for the outfit.
"A pistol was also given to him with the direction that he will teach the basics of handling the weapon to Mustafa," . Police investigation has so far found that Wani came in contact with the Hizb in July, when he came on 10-day leave to finalise his wedding date."While Wani was on leave, one evening Mustafa came to him along with three militants, including Bilal Shah (who was killed in a gunfight in August). Bilal accused him of being a source of forces and demanded a hefty amount... Wani was also advised to work with Mustafa for carrying out militancy activities in the area," the investigators have found. "Moreover, a pistol was given to him with the direction that he will teach the basics of handling the weapon to Mustafa."The BSF man returned to his duties in Mizoram and sought 55 more days of leave for his marriage. "In Mizoram, he learnt about the killing of Bilal and another local militant. He got married in the second week of September. As the police got some inputs, he was picked up along with three other persons. After sustained interrogation, he led the police to the recovery of the weapon from his home," the officer said. "While the BSF man and Mustafa have been found to have been working as OGWs, the role of other two is being investigated." Police and BSF and other security agencies personnel have been advised to show their full rage whenever militants try to lure them in the name of money. These are certain new methods adopted by militants to train the new recruits. While the BSF officials impart training in handling of weapons neither the official nor the new recruits are suspects. It is a chance that the police found involvement of two BSF jawans in imparting training in the handling of weapons to the new rescruits. With this training the new recruits may become bold and sharp shooters. This is really unfortunate that militants try to intrude into the BSF personnel and when already the police are under threat of militants in view of the series of attacks on them and besides killing some officials these militants are keen in snatching weapons from the police. Under these circumstances the security scenario may become alarming when over 230 militants are waiting for an opportunity to cross into Kashmir. |
