Abrar, who was involved in several recent attacks on security forces and civilians in Kashmir, was arrested last evening in what police called a “huge success”.

Later, when the terrorist was leading the security forces towards his hideout in Malhura Parimpora area of ​​Srinagar, one of his accomplices in the group injured three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.

A deputy superintendent of CRPF and a constable of the paramilitary force were injured in the encounter, officials said. Police said this triggered an encounter between security forces and terrorists, in which Lashkar commander Abrar was killed.

IGP Kashmir Zone Vijay Kumar had said on Monday that Lashkar commander Nadeem Abrar Bhat alias Khalid was involved in “multiple killings” and his arrest was a “huge success” for the police forces. Police said Bhat was serving as a Lashkar commander in central Kashmir and was active since 2018.

The Lashkar commander was earlier linked to the murder of former special police officer Fayaz Ahmed, his wife, and his daughter at their home in the Tral area of ​​the Pulwama district. IGP Kumar, who had gone to meet Ahmed’s bereaved family, had earlier said that the unidentified terrorists involved in the attack could be of Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Jammu and Kashmir Police said that Lashkar commander Nadeem Abrar Bhat was also involved in the attack on CRPF in Lawaypora in March. Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were martyred in the attack and the rifle was also snatched by the terrorists. The rifle was recovered from the possession of a terrorist earlier this month after three terrorists were killed during an encounter in Sopore.
