Mohd Rafi Butt

Mohd Rafi Butt, Junior Assistant PWD (R&B) Kishtwar resident of Pochhal, Tehsil & District Kishtwar.

The nexus between Mohd Rafi Butt, and the terrorists in Kishtwar could surface only after one of his associates namely Tariq Hussain Giri was arrested by NIA investigating the case of the killing of a prominent RSS leader Chanderkant and his PSO Rajinder Kumar in the premises of District Hospital Kisthwar on 9th April 2019.

The investigations also revealed that not only did Mohd Rafi Butt provide food and shelter to the HM terrorists but also harboured and transported them from time to time to conceal their designs thereby providing them a safe environment to execute terror plans in Kishtwar. Investigation conducted by NIA revealed that the attack on the RSS leader and his PSO was carried out by three HM terrorists namely Osama Bin Javed @ Osama, Haroon Abbas Wani @ Haroon and Zahid Hussain after proper reconnaissance prior to the attack.

It was also revealed during investigation that this incident was one among the four terror related incidents committed in the period November-2018 to September-2019 by HM terrorist outfit in furtherance of a larger conspiracy to create panic and terror to force the exodus of members of a particular community from district Kishtwar and other areas of erstwhile Doda District.

 

Constable Showkat Ahmad Khan:

Showkat Ahmad Khan, Selection Grade Constable of resident of Arth, Narbal, District Budgam, as per official records accessed by ANN News, is a notorious and hardcore sympathiser and Over Ground Worker (OGW) of LeT who has brazenly used his position as a police personnel to give a degree of legitimacy to the secessionist agenda against the Indian State in the UT of J&K.

Khan, in utter disregard of his mandate to work for the Police Department which is at the forefront of fighting terrorism, clandestinely got in activities detrimental to the security of the state.

 

Abdul Hamid Wani:

Abdul Hamid Wani @ Rouf-ul-Islam, Teacher GMS Hunaman Sirigufwara, Anantnag resident of Dupatyar Bijbehara, Anantnag is an ex-terrorist of terrorist outfit Allah Tigers has a prolonged history of having carried practically and actively the ideology of secessionism and separatism in his area.

The gravity of his involvement in secessionism, as per official records, can be gauged from the fact that even being a Government Teacher, he became an active terrorist (District Commander) of terrorist outfit Allah Tigers.

During his active role as a terrorist he was closely associated with another former terrorist turned businessman and member of Jamat-e-Islami (JeI) namely Abdul Aziz Bhat of Arder Anantnag. Wani and his associates extorted a lot of money on gun point from local public for themselves and also to carryout terrorist activities in the area.

Allah Tigers, the small radical terrorist outfit involved in organised armed rebellion against the Indian State and in favour of merger of Kashmir with Pakistan was notoriously infamous for shutting down cinemas, bars and beauty parlours in Kashmir valley. Any one not obeying their diktats was threatened with punishment of death.

Leveraging his JeI affiliation, Abdul Hamid Wani, manipulated the then supervisory authority and obtained an appointment order in his favour in 1988-89.

In other words he never underwent a public selection proceeding and is a case of backdoor appointee.

It was under this thoughtful strategy of JeI to enlarge its mass base, manage financial resources and intrude into the government machinery; particularly school education that Wani got a government job.

 

Disregarding his service mandate, Wani propagates his ideology of terrorism and secessionism openly while participating in Friday sermons in local mosques, at the time of funerals of killed terrorists and during condolences (Taiziyat) gatherings of civilians in the area “projecting it as oppression by Indian security forces.”
