Srinagar, June 3: Jammu and Kashmir administration has dismissed three government employees for alleged involvement in terror-activities. The termination under Article 311 (2) (C) of the Constitution of India was inspired by the conclusions that connected the employees to terrorist organizations and activities, which was a direct threat to national security.
The first of the three rejected persons are Wasim Ahmed Khan, Diyarwani, Batamalu, Srinagar. Perritory as a junior assistant in the Department of Health and Medical Education, Khan has alleged that he has maintained deep spots with the accused terrorist outfit Hezbul Mujahideen (HM). Investigation revealed that Khan passed sensitive and classified information to the HM handler based in Pakistan, and also provided logistic assistance to active terrorists including shelter and transport.
Khan’s alleged partnership extends to several violent incidents, including attacks on security forces in Bamtamalu and Shaheed Gun areas, as well as a high-profile rifle-snatching case in Dalgate. He is also associated with the 2018 murder of senior journalist Shujaat Bukhari, an incident that shook the nation. FIR number 173/2018 at Police Station Batamalu, FIR No. 39/2018 at Police Station RM Bagh, FIR No. 51/2018 at Police Station Kothibagh, and FIR No. 39/2018 in FIR No. 39/2018 in FIR No. 173/2018 in FIR number 173/2018. Khan has been recorded at Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu since 2018, and the evidence collected during the ongoing investigation made the basis of his dismissal.
The second employee, Ajaz Ahmed, who was serving as a teacher in the Department of Buffalize, Salen in Poonch district. According to police investigation, Ahmed Abid was in direct contact with Ramzan Sheikh, who is currently a known Kashmiri terrorist located in Pakistan. Acting on Sheikh’s instructions, Ahmed allegedly collected weapons and ammunition from Dhangri in Rajouri district, in which the objective was to take him to the Kashmir Valley for use in terrorist attacks.
Ahmed was caught by the Poonch police, who recovered a pistol, two magazines, 22 live rounds, a mobile phone and four Hezbul Mujahideen posters from their possession. This recovery was done under the FIR number 352/2023 registered at the police station Surkote. Officials cited a serious threat that their actions saw public safety and state’s integrity as the basis for their dismissal.
The third person has been dismissed, which is Malik Ishfaq Naseer, a resident of Malikpora Khaggund in Anantnag district. Naseer was serving as a selection grade constable in Jammu and Kashmir Police. The details of his case have not been publicly disclosed, but the authorities confirmed that his actions dismissed the interest of national security.
A government spokesperson reiterated that the administration is committed to cleaning the system of any element which endangers peace and security in the region. Calling Article 311 (2) (C), which allows the government to be briefly dismissed without an inquiry into matters related to national security, officials insisted that folk servants involved in illegal or anti-national activities would have to face strict action.
This latest step sends a clear message about the administration’s determination to maintain the law of law and protect the integrity of government institutions in Jammu and Kashmir.
