Notorious for his involvement in the killing of Rising Kashmir editor Shujaat Bukhari, Pakistani Lashkar-e-Toiba commander, Naveed Jatt, was killed in a security operation today (Wednesday, 28 November) in Budgam district of the Kashmir valley, reported The Indian Express. Police records show that Jatt had previously trained with 26/11 attacker Ajmal Kasab in Pakistan.
Announcing Jatt’s elimination, Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Dilbagh Singh said, “We’ll be writing to the home ministry to inform Pakistan to take back the body. It was a swift operation carried out by security forces. We finally got the prize catch Naveed Jatt. He has managed to give us the slip in six different encounters but today our boys managed to pin him down.”
The encounter began earlier today in Chattergam village of Budgam after the terrorists opened fire on security forces during a cordon-and-search operation. Internet services have been blocked in the district.
Bukhari, editor-in-chief and founder of Rising Kashmir, had been shot dead by three bike-borne gunmen in June near his office. Two security personnel had also been martyred in the attack.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
