Islamabad, March 4: In a major development, Sheikh Jameel-ur-Rehman, one of India's most wanted terrorists, was found dead under "mysterious circumstances" in Pakistan on Saturday (March 2). This development adds to the string of murders of Pakistan-based terrorists who were highly active in their terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
Notably, Rehman was self-styled secretary general of the United Jihad Council (UJC) who belonged to Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district but was relocated to Pakistan after orchestrating multiple terror attacks in Kashmir.

He held significant positions within the terrorist landscape, serving as the secretary-general of the United Jihad Council (UJC) and as the emir of Tahreek-ul-Mujahdeen (TuM). Designated as a terrorist by the Indian Government in October 2022, Rehman was known to collaborate closely with Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI.
What is TuM?
TuM, with its goal of merging Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan while promoting a pan-Islamist identity, faced setbacks early on, notably with the death of its founder, Yunus Khan, in a 1991 encounter. The UJC, a coalition of Pakistani-based jihadist groups, aimed to unite various terrorist outfits active in Jammu and Kashmir under a single umbrella organisation. This alliance included groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Al Badr, Hizbul Mujahideen, among others, with Rehman playing a pivotal role in coordinating their activities, including training and infiltration.
