The IGP said during interrogation, Qureshi confessed his involvement in the killings of 51 persons, including 13 police personnel, 11 para-military force (PMF) personnel, a CO of 8 RR and five other army personnel, two surrendered militants, six VDC members and 13 civilians.
At least 73 personnel of army, PMF and police and one civilian were injured in the attacks carried out by him, Dilbagh added. He also confessed to have massacred five civilians at Behota in Marmat in 2003 and four members of a family at Badi Marmat in 2007. Fourteen FIRs were registered against him in Doda district and four in Udhampur district, the IGP informed.
Qureshi also admitted that he was in constant touch with his mentors across the borders, including HM superemo Syed Sallahuddin and his secretary Ibrahim over satellite phone. He was also in contact with HM control station code 14 at Kotli in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and code 19 at Zaffarwal. Both these stations were supervised by Tauseef of Kishtwar.
The IGP said Qureshi had a vast network of contacts who helped him financially, constructed hideouts for him, supplied him daily use items and SIM cards.
The Doda police were going to take action under law against his contacts, he added. Qureshi joined militancy in 1994. He later crossed over to Pakistan and returned after three years of militant training.
He became HM's Doda district commander in 2002. After he committed various killings, Sallahudin made him deputy divisional commander of Chenab Division and gave him charge of Kathua, Bani, Basholi, Gulabgarh Mahore, Banihal, Ramban, Chenani and Sudhmahadev. The IGP said Qureshi had recently been instructed from across the border to keep himself and his cadres safe and wait for further instructions for some big operation that was being planned in Pakistan.
