UP Welder Who Turned Into LeT Operative: J&K Police Arrest Sandeep Kumar Sharma Alias Adil

Darpan News Desk IANS, 10 Jul, 2017 01:15 PM
    In a shocking revelation, Inspector General of Police Munir Khan in his press conference said Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday apprehended an alleged terrorist Sandeep Kumar Sharma, alias Adil,  from the valley. 
     
     
    Inspector General of Police Muneer Khan said that Kumar was arrested during a gunfight in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on July 1 in which top Lashkar commander Bashir Lashkari was killed along with his associate. 
     
     
    Sandeep was rescued along with other members of the family by the police where Lashkar was hiding.
     
     
    “We had an encounter in Annatnag where a notorious militant Bashir Laskri was eliminated along with his associate. It all started from there. Sandeep Kumar was apprehended in a live action. Once he was apprehended the fingers of suspicious raised. 
     
     
    We were surprised to see a non-local sitting in the same house where Lashkari had taken shelter. We decided to probe further,” Khan said while addressing a press conference.
     
    The family is reported to have told the police that Sharma had converted to Islam and married a girl from Kashmir. They have reportedly claimed that Sharma left his home, in Sarwat village of Muzaffarnagar district, about seven years ago, and did not contact them till about three years ago. That was when they found out that he had converted.
     
    He said Sandeep had been frequently visiting the Valley since 2011.
     
     
    “He used to work as a welder and spent most of his time in the Valley.  During winters, he used to go outside the Valley, especially north Patiala for employment. While working in Punjab, he came in contact with Shahid of Kulgam Kashmir. 
     
     
    He along with some of his Valley-based associates came from Patiala to Kashmir for carrying out criminal activities. Consequently, the group got involved in different kinds of robberies, including ATM looting in South Kashmir. In these crimes, they worked in conjunction with Lashkar,” Khan said.
     
     
    Sandeep later joined Bashir Lashkeri and worked as a key aid.  
     
     
    “On further inquiry by the police, it was revealed that Sandeep along with other individuals hatched a criminal conspiracy leading to providing  shelter, ferrying of terrorists from one place to other for terror strikes and actively participating in terrorist activities,” Khan said.
     
     
    “He also concealed weapons looted from police guards in a vehicle and shifted them to different locations on the directions of LeT,” Khan said.
    “Investigation so far conducted has revealed that the LeT in league with criminal network is raising money by looting banks, especially ATM,” he said.
