Jammu Kashmir Police manhunt – Bharat Pulse News

Security agencies suspect wanted Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Mohammad Lateef Bhat of involvement in Wednesday's attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) checkpoint in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Three CRPF personnel were injured in the November 11 attack, prompting an intensified search operation across South Kashmir. Kulgam CRPF Attack Leaves Three Personnel Injured The attack occurred near Mir Bazar when armed terrorists opened fire on CRPF personnel stationed at a security checkpoint. CCTV footage reportedly shows approximately 30 rounds being fired within 15 seconds before the attackers fled following retaliation by security personnel. Investigators recovered cartridge casings from the scene that reportedly match ammunition evidence collected during earlier terrorist attacks. Security officials believe the attackers used a hit-and-run strategy previously observed in terrorist incidents across South Kashmir. Lateef Bhat Linked to Earlier Kashmir Terror Attacks Bhat, a Kulgam resident associated with The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy, is suspected of involvement in several attacks during 2026. Investigators have linked him to the July 22 killing of a police constable in Anantnag and the July 31 attack on migrant workers in Kulgam. Bhat reportedly escaped an earlier security operation in Shopian and is believed to be operating alongside Pakistani terrorists. However, his involvement in Wednesday's CRPF attack has not yet been conclusively established. Jammu and Kashmir Police Intensify Manhunt Police have displayed wanted posters across Srinagar, including Lal Chowk, seeking information about Bhat's whereabouts. A reward of ₹15 lakh has been announced for information leading to his arrest. Security agencies are also questioning suspected overground workers to identify possible support networks and hideouts. The investigation remains underway as security forces continue searching for the attackers.
