Altaf Lalli: A Profile

Altaf Lalli, who planned several attacks there, was a crucial person in the LeT group. He died is seen considered a major blow to the terrorist organization's ability to operate in Jammu and Kashmir.

 


Link to the Pahalgam Attack

The shootout follows the April 22 terror attack at Pahalgam, in which 26 people, including one Nepali national, were killed. The Bandipora operation is a result of security government officials' increased efforts to capture the attackers after the attack.

 


Ongoing Operations and Security Measures

Security forces have been conducting raids and demolitions against persons linked to the Pahalgam attack in addition to the Bandipora operation. Crucially, Adil Hussain Thoker, who was charged with aiding Pakistani militants in planning the attack, had his house destroyed with improvised explosive devices. The accused person Asif Sheikh's Tral home was demolished by Law-Authorities. There has already been a proclamation by officials of ₹20 lakh to anyone providing information that leads to the arrest of Thoker and two Pakistani citizens, Ali Bhai and Hashim Musa, who were suspected to have been involved in the attack. Strategic Implications

 


The success of Altaf Lalli's deconstruction shows the way India's counterterrorism and intelligence operations work. It clearly indicates terrorist groups about the country's commitment to cope with terrorism & safeguard its citizens.
