New Delhi : Security forces killed Bagu Khan, popularly known as the “human GPS” in terror ranks, in Gurez on Saturday. Bagu Khan, also known as Samandar Chacha, has been based in PoK since 1995. According to sources in the security grid, he was responsible for facilitating more than 100 infiltration attempts from various areas of the Gurez sector, with the majority being successful due to his intimate knowledge of the region’s tough terrain and secret routes.
While he was a Hizbul commander, he helped every terror outfit in planning and executing infiltrations from the Gurez and neighbouring sectors along the Line of Control. After evading security forces for years, his luck ran out during the latest infiltration attempt. The killing of Bagu Khan is being seen as a blow to the logistical network of terror outfits in the area.
This encounter came two days after the two terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control in the Gurez sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district were gunned down by the Indian Army on Thursday. The encounter took place near Naushehra Naar under Operation Naushera Nar IV, where alert troops engaged a group of heavily armed infiltrators trying to cross into Indian territory. A brief exchange of fire ensued, resulting in the elimination of two terrorists.
