A special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Jammu has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Saifullah, linked to several major attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, including the 2025 Pahalgam attack.
It busted a deep-rooted LeT module earlier in the year headed by Pakistani terrorist Abdullah alias Abu Hureira, who was arrested with another Pakistani accomplice, Usman alias Khubaib, and three local operatives, according to the NIA. The agency said that the J&K Police had intercepted an LeT operative in Pandach area of Srinagar in March and this led “to the successful arrest of the entire group, particularly Abdullah, who had been on the run for 16 years, and successfully established bases outside the Union Territory”. The court has forwarded the arrest warrant to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Kulgam, “as the last known address of the accused is Yamrach village (in the district in south Kashmir) for execution of the warrant”.
