The security forces have achieved a major success by killing terrorist Bagu Khan, who was known as 'Human GPS' in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Gurerz.
Bagu Khan was killed last week after the security forces foiled an infiltration bid from the Nowshera Naar area along the LoC, according to a report by India Today.
Apart from Khan, one more terrorist was neutralised in the encounter. Khan also went by the alias SamandarChacha. According to the report, Khan was the oldest terrorist who was involved in the infiltration. He was wanted for decades, as he had facilitated over 100 infiltration bids.
It was because of his extensive knowledge of the secret terrain in the region that he was successful in the majority of his attempts and hence was named Human GPS.
The security forces also recovered his identity card, which proved him to be a Pakistani resident, according to an NDTV report. His role was to assist all terror outfits in their infiltration bids from Gurez and adjoining areas.
The security forces, reportedly, spotted suspicious activity along the LoC. The forces challenged the infiltrators, but the terrorists opened fire.
The security force retaliated and killed Khan along with another terrorist. The other terrorist was also a Pakistani national. However, his identity has not been confirmed yet.
The Chinar Corps of the Indian Army said in a post on X that a joint operation was launched by the army and the UT police, based on an intelligence input. The post read, "Based on intelligence provided by Jammu and Kashmir Police regarding likely infiltration attempt, a joint operation was launched by Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police in Gurez Sector. Troops responded with effective fire, neutralising two terrorists".
