BSF guns down LeT chief coordinator

The BSF recovered one AK rifle, three AK magazines, two handgrenades, a laptop, a satellite phone, a digital dairy and many incriminating documents. Analysis of the contents of a laptop, a digital diary and documents recovered from the spot reveal that Chowdhary had sent two Pakistani militants, Hafiz and Adul Hawal, to Gujarat to carry out the Akshardham attack.

The DIG said Chowdhary used several code names like Abu Marshad, Abu Nadeem, Abu Jishan, Munna and Abu Zargar to hoodwink security agencies. He said the slain ultra had visited Pahalgam on July 3 on a reconnaissance and was probably planning another suicide attack on the Amarnath yatris. He was also involved in firing on Shopian MLA during elections and mortar shelling on Army unit at Zainpora, Shopian, during last year8217;s elections.

Srinivasan did not rule out that Chowdhary came to Srinagar to disrupt Independence Day function.
