According to official sources, CCTV footage recovered from the area showed the presence of terrorists believed to be affiliated with the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba outfit. One of the individuals spotted in the footage has been identified as Mohammad Latief Bhat, a known Lashkar operative. Following the identification, security agencies swiftly launched a massive search operation to prevent any potential terror activity.
Security forces, including police and other paramilitary units, have cordoned off several locations in Anantnag as part of a coordinated operation to trace the suspects. Checkpoints have been reinforced, and door-to-door searches are being carried out in sensitive pockets based on intelligence inputs. Officials confirmed that the operation is being conducted with extreme caution to ensure civilian safety while maintaining operational effectiveness.
The use of CCTV surveillance has once again highlighted its growing role in counterterrorism efforts in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in tracking militant movement and enabling real-time intelligence-led action. Authorities have not disclosed further operational details, citing security reasons, and have stated that more information will be shared as the situation develops.
The latest operation underscores the continuing security challenges in South Kashmir and the proactive stance adopted by security forces to disrupt militant networks. As the search continues, the incident reinforces the importance of intelligence, surveillance, and rapid response in maintaining stability in the region.
