Lashkar-e-Taiba’s Kashmir commander Abu Dujana, one of the most wanted men in India, was killed by security forces during an encounter in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Tuesday morning.
Dujana, a Pakistan national, was the chief of Lashkar's operations in Kashmir. His death is being viewed as the one of the biggest success stories for security forces this year. Dujana had a Rs 30 lakh prize on his head.
Abu Ismail, a LeT commander who planned and executed the recent attack on Amarnath Yatris, is believed to be a close associate of Dujana. Ismail is subbed to be the successor of Dujana.
Acting on intelligence inputs about the presence of militants in Hakripora village of Pulwama, forces launched a cordon and search operation in the area, police said.
The militants opened fired prompting retaliation from the forces.
DGP of Jammu and Kashmir, SP Vaid, said the encounter is still in progress and refused to divulge details unless they had seen the bodies.
Hailing from Gilgit-Baltistan area of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), Dujana infiltrated Jammu and Kashmir in 2010.
The LeT Commander made his first dramatic appearance at a funeral of a local Lashkar militant in 2014 in Kakpora area of Pulwama. He also attended the funeral of Hizbul Commander Burhan Wani in South Kashmir's Tral area last year in July.
Dujana, who was an A++ category terrorist, was wanted for his role in the Udhampur attack in which two BSF personnel were killed and a dozen injured.
