Srinagar, July 2: Security forces have cordoned off Delina area of North Kashmir district Baramulla this evening for most wanted militant, Qayoom Najjar, who is allegedly involved in the recent killings in Sopore area.
Police and Army after getting information that Najjar was travelling in a Sumo car and was on way to Delina area to a particular locality, laid ambush this evening but Najjar reportedly disembarked from the vehicle in a nearby locality.
Police and Army immediately cordoned off few houses in the locality where he disembarked from the Sumo but he was not found there.
The cordon was lifted but immediately laid around Delina and surrounding areas after reports that he is still inside the locality. House to house searches are being conducted as security forces don’t want to take a chance to let Najjar go.
Najjar has Rs 10 lakh on his head and one of the major security operations has been launched against him and his associates for the past three weeks. Police says he is responsible for the attacks on telecoms and killing of Hurriyat Conference (G) activists and former militants killed in Sopore area last month.
