Srinagar: Authorities in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir demolished the house of top Jaish-e-Mohammad militant Ashiq Nengroo, who is believed to be based in Pakistan. Officials said the house of Nengroo at Hanjan Rajpora, Pulwama was demolished by district authorities as it was "built on government land". The demolition was carried amid tight security.
Police sources said Nengroo is a main handler of JeM after he exfiltrated via a tunnel to Pakistan from Jammu in January 2019 along with his family. Earlier this year, Nengroo was declared as a "designated terrorist" under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act by the Union government.
