Watch the Video: Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir demolished the homes of two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants in South Kashmir
Following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir demolished the homes of two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants in South Kashmir on April 25, 2025. The houses belonged to Asif Sheikh in Tral, Pulwama district, and Adil Thoker (also referred to as Adil Thokar) in Bijbehara, Anantnag district.
- Asif Sheikh’s House: Located in Tral, the demolition was linked to a search operation in Moghama where a suspicious box with wires was found, prompting authorities to destroy the residence. Posts on X and reports indicate this was part of a broader crackdown following the Pahalgam attack.
- Adil Thoker’s House: In Bijbehara, Adil’s house was razed, with security forces identifying him as a key figure in aiding Pakistani terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack. India Today reported from the site, confirming the demolition as a targeted action against terror networks.
These demolitions reflect a strategy often used by Indian authorities to deter militancy by targeting the assets of suspected terrorists. The actions were reported widely on X and by outlets like India Today, though no official statement from the Jammu and Kashmir police or government was detailed in the provided sources.
