A top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant, ‘district divisional commander’ Yusuf Gujjar alias Kamran, and his two associates were shot dead by Security Forces (SFs) at village Sarawan in the Kishtwar District on April 2. Deputy Inspector General of Police (Doda range), Hemant Kumar Lohia, told Daily Excelsior that SFs launched a search operation at Sarawan at 10 am after securing specific information about the presence of three top militants, including Yusuf Gujjar, in the area. During the encounter that ensued after a search operation was launched, all three of them were killed. Unconfirmed reports said that a Territorial Army trooper, Zafarullah, who had deserted his battalion in March 2009 and joined the LeT outfit, was also present in the area. His killing in the operation has not been confirmed so far by the SFs. It has, however, been confirmed that Zafarullah had joined Yusuf Gujjar’s group after deserting the Army. Recoveries made from the incident site include one AK-56 rifle with three magazines, four grenades, six Chinese grenades, one pistol and a large quantity of ammunition.

Chidambaram has stated that four Pakistan-based terrorist outfits are “working in consort” and there was mention of the Taliban in intercepts of their conversations, The Hindu reported. While saying the threat level in the country was “pretty high”, he disclosed on April 10 that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) and the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) were earlier operating separately but had come together. “We simply have to keep our powder dry. Make sure that we remain on high alert because four organisations are working in consort. That means the level of threat is pretty high,” he told NDTV. “I don’t think anyone has captured anyone to identify him as a Taliban. All that we know is that there is a serious attempt to infiltrate into India,” Chidambaram said. He was responding to a question on reports that about 30 Taliban terrorists had entered Kashmir.

Army chief General Deepak Kapoor said in New Delhi on April 14 that women were being "trained" on the other side of the Line of Control (LoC) to infiltrate into India, Daily Excelsior reported. "We have information that women are being trained on the other side to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir," the Army chief said, when asked about the possibility of involvement of women handlers in the Pulwama encounter that ended on April 13 with the killing of two militants. "It is possible that women may be involved in giving directions to the terrorists," he added. On the issue of infiltration of Taliban in India, Kapoor said, "As far as the Indian Army is concerned, we have had no trace of Taliban." Kapoor also said the Army had expected "calibration" in infiltration around the election time. "We did expect that there would be a certain amount of calibration from the other side to push in infiltrators because of elections, which is what they are trying," he stated. A three-tier Defence system had been put in place on the LoC to deal with any situation as the Army was aware of plans to escalate infiltration bids in the run-up to the elections, General Kapoor added.

The other Hurriyat faction led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani has already called for a boycott of the elections and a general strike on the days of polling. Although elections were held for the Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha seat on April 16, the strike call had no effect on the normal life in the Valley. Bhat said Hurriyat will go to the people and tell them consider the fact that pro-India politicians were gloating about the results of the Assembly elections. "We have been talking about this issue (boycott) for past three-four months. We will ask the people to consider the pro-India leadership gloating about the results of previous elections. We will leave the decision to the people," he said. He said while his faction of Hurriyat did not deny the right of other separatists to call for boycott of the elections, they should also not be denied their right to call the polls a non-issue.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (Let) militant, identified as Nissar Ahmed, was killed along with his girl friend and an accomplice at Dori Bhagla in Doda District on April 19, Times of India reported. Doda Deputy Inspector General of Police H. K. Lohia said that Nissar had slipped through the Police net more than once in the past and that his girlfriend Zahida Bano (20) proved crucial in tracking him down. "Nissar, one of the most wanted terrorists in the district, was proving very elusive for us till we stumbled upon his affair with Zahida," he said. He said as soon as Police came to know about the affair, sleuths were hot on her trail. Zahida was kept under watch for 10 days. "We closed in on Nissar when we discovered Zahida was to meet him," Lohia said. A team of Security Force personnel followed Zahida to Nissar's hideout. "Nissar and Mohammed Rafiq Nazni, another terrorist accompanying him, were asked to surrender. When they didn't, security forces fired at them," Lohia said. He said Nissar and Nazni were killed while Zahida was critically injured. "Zahida, who had been working for the LeT as an Over Ground Worker (OGW), later died in a local hospital." Lohia also said that a LeT OGW arrested last week had tipped the Police about Zahida's terror link. Superintendent of Police Parbhat Singh said the two militants had been active in the forest area around Doda for a long time. "Their elimination is a major success for counter-insurgency operations in the area," he said, adding, two AK-47 rifles were recovered from the encounter site.

The Centre on April 22 admitted that around 50 terrorists had infiltrated into Jammu and Kashmir through the Gurez sector and said the entire security apparatus was alert to ensure peaceful Lok Sabha elections in the State. The extent of the infiltration was given by the Union Home Ministry (MHA) while dismissing as "grossly exaggerated" reports that 158 terrorists had sneaked into the State through the Gurez sector in north Kashmir. A MHA spokesperson said "inputs about infiltration were received from different sources and periodically, various security agencies sit together to make a realistic assessment of the extent of infiltration… According to the current assessment, the level of infiltration is a third of the figures that have been mentioned in the reports." He added that "The entire security apparatus is fully alert and geared up to foil any designs of the militants, and ensure peaceful polls in the State."

An estimated 6.18 lakh voters exercised their franchise (45.3 per cent) in the Udhampur-Doda Lok Sabha seat which went to polls in the second phase on April 23.

Kathua District with a highest number of 4.04 lakh electorate also accounted for the highest voter turnout of 53.02 per cent while the lowest voting percentage of 33.2 was recorded in Ramban District.

Infiltration of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir, helped by the Pakistani establishment, has increased substantially, with March recording the highest influx as compared to the corresponding month in the last seven years, Daily Excelsior reported. The Army chief General Deepak Kapoor said in New Delhi on April 28 there was information about more militants preparing to infiltrate into India and that his force has "refined" the pattern of deployment to foil these attempts. "As far as Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, infiltration has increased in March because of the elections being held there and to disrupt the electoral process in the State," he told reporters. "The figure upto March 31 says that 54 terrorists have come into Jammu and Kashmir," Gen Kapoor added. Sources said the infiltration in March 2009 was the highest for the corresponding month in the past seven years. The infiltration has increased both in terms of quantity and quality, considering the weapons brought by terrorists, the sources said. "It cannot happen without the conscious decision of the establishment in Pakistan," they added.
