Security forces on Saturday said that terrorist Bagu Khan, also known as ‘Human GPS’, was killed in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Gurez last week. He was shot dead after the security forces foiled an infiltration attempt from the Nowshera Naar area along the Line of Control (LoC), according to India Today.
According to sources in the security grid, he was responsible for facilitating more than 100 infiltration attempts from various areas of the Gurez sector, with the majority being successful due to his intimate knowledge of the region’s tough terrain and secret routes. This made him special for all terror groups.
Bagu Khan, who also went by the alias Samandar Chacha, was one of the two terrorists neutralised in the encounter, the report said.
Based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir since 1995, Bagu Khan was one of the oldest terrorists involved in border infiltrations, having facilitated over 100 bids and was wanted by security forces for decades.
He facilitated infiltration attempts from several areas of the Gurez sector, and was successful a majority of the times, on account of his knowledge of the region’s secret routes and terrain. Bagu Khan’s identity card was also recovered, which showed that he was a resident of Pakistan, NDTV quoted officials as saying.
