Fresh recovery of arms and ammunition, including sticky or magnet bombs, on the disclosure of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Talib Hussain on Monday forced the security agencies to widen the probe beyond the three blasts that took place in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri this year.
“The probe is on. We are investigating Hussain’s role in other cases too,” a senior official said.
Hussain, who worked with the BJP for several years from Rajouri district, had access to top leaders and party offices in the Jammu province. A BJP leader’s house also came under grenade attack in August in 2021, in which a two-year-old child died. The police are working on the links of Hussain “within and outside the Valley” and “his role in the militant activities in the Pir Panjal valley”.
