Early Times Report

Srinagar, June 7: The J&K Police on Tuesday said it has cracked last week's IED blast case in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir that left one soldier dead and two others injured. Police said two “hybrid” militants involved in the incident, have been arrested and the entire conspiracy of the blast was "hatched" by an active Lashkar-e-Toiba militant. Initially, Police had said that four militants and their associates were arrested in the case.
Early on June 2, three soldiers were injured in a blast inside a private vehicle for hire at Sedow, Shopian, during an anti militancy operation. One of the injured soldiers, Naik Praveen a resident of Tehri Garhwal Uttarakhand later succumbed to his injuries.
Initially police and Army said the blast was likely due to an improvised explosive device or a grenade or a battery malfunctioning in the vehicle.
However, Police on Tuesday confirmed that the blast was triggered by an IED.
Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said Shopian Police cracked the case.
Giving further details about the case, Superintendent of Police, Shopian Tanushre said during the course of investigation, a number of suspects were questioned and on the basis of technical leads and other corroborative evidences, role of two persons Showkat Ahmed Sheikh and Pervaz Ahmed Lone both residents of Sedow Shopian surfaced.
“The two were subsequently arrested in the instant case and on their disclosure, incriminating material including electronic items used in executing the blast have been recovered,” she said, adding the two were 'hybrid' militants, which would mean they are not listed with the security agencies as militants but carry out attacks and then slip back into routine life.
The officer said during further investigations it surfaced that the entire conspiracy was hatched by Abid Ramzan Sheikh, an active militant of LeT.
“Sheikh was in constant touch with the accused and motivated and trained them about how to fix the IED on a vehicle and detonate it remotely,” Tanushre said.
