Overview
- The State Investigation Agency, which filed the charge sheet Thursday, named Sabar Hussain in a designated court in Jammu and Kashmir.
- Investigators allege he gave shelter, food and logistics to three Lashkar-e-Taiba/The Resistance Front operatives at his seasonal hut in Chamrer during late June to early July 2024.
- The militants had stormed Mohammed Razaq’s home in Kunda, Thanamandi, on April 22, 2024, killing him and wounding his brother, Territorial Army jawan Tahir Khurshid.
- SIA says it recovered material evidence and recorded key witness statements, establishing prima facie offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, though the filing is not a conviction.
- Officials cast the case as an effort to break local support networks for banned groups, in a village that also saw Razaq’s father killed by terrorists in 2004.
