Reports suggest that the four belong to a group of 12 LeT terrorists led by Sajjid Jutt, who operate between Kotli in PoK and Sialkot across the international border. All of them are around 23-25 years of age and are hardened veterans of jihad and may have operated across the Durand Line in Afghanistan as part of Lashkar’s on Pakistan’s western front.

The 12 member group has been operating in the Rajouri -Poonch sector for the past 18 months as per intelligence inputs and provide safe cover to jihadists infiltrating and exfiltrating from the south of Pir Panjal as well as South Kashmir areas.
This clearly highlights that the terror factory in Pakistan is alive and kicking with the sole design to target India in the Kashmir Valley and the Jammu hinterland.
