Hamza Burhan Killed: The terrorist network in Pakistan has suffered another major blow as Arjamand Gulzar, alias Hamza Burhan, one of the key commanders of the banned terrorist organisation Al Badr, was reportedly killed by unknown men in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). According to media reports, he sustained multiple bullet injuries in the attack in PoK's Muzaffarabad.
Who Was Hamza Burhan?
Hamza, who was on the security agencies' most wanted list, originally belonged to Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district, and he had been living in Pakistan for the past seven years. According to an India Today report, he was one of the masterminds of the 2019 Pulwama attack, which claimed 40 lives of CRPF soldiers. Known as 'Doctor', he was designated as a terrorist by the Union Home Ministry in 2022. In 2017, he left for Pakistan after being radicalised in the name of pursuing higher studies. During his stay in Pakistan, he became a member of the banned terror outfit Al-Badr. Later, he was appointed as commander.
