SRINAGAR — The Jammu and Kashmir Government on Saturday dismissed four employees including two Constables in J&K Police, a teacher in Education Department and an Assistant Lineman in Jal Shakti Department in terms of Article 311 of the Constitution of India for their alleged involvement in anti-national activities.
In a statement to the news agency KDC, a government spokesman said, “The activities of these employees had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they found them involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the State, such as involvement in terror-related activities.”
According to the statement, Abdul Rehman Dar, son of Sona Ullah Dar and a resident of Larmooh locality of Tral area in Pulwama district, who was a Selection Grade Constable in Police Department, was involved in the commission of the offence of not only carrying illegal arms and ammunition from one place to another for their delivery to the militants but also providing camouflage uniform cloth and other material to them, taking undue and criminal advantage of his being a member of the police force.
Another Constable in J&K Police, Ghulam Rasool Bhat, son of Jawaid Hyder Bhat and a resident of Lalgam locality of Tral area in Pulwama district, is also allegedly involved in the commission of the offence of carrying illegal arms and ammunition from one place to another for delivery to the militants. As a Kote NCO in the armory of a district, he was allegedly supplying ammunition and weapons to the militants for a long time. "He was linked to the terrorist ecosystem, through a network of OGWs, who have been operating at the behest of terrorist outfits based in Pakistan."
A teacher in the Education Department, Shabeer Ahmad Wani, son of Mohammad Ashraf Wani and a resident of Bungam locality of Damhal Hanjipora area in Kulgam district, has been an active member of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and is a proscribed separatist associate having tangible links with militant organization, the statement said.
"He played a substantial role in strengthening JeI and creating a network of people among JeI sympathizers. Various FIRs have been registered against him because of his direct involvement in inciting and leading an unlawful assembly of mob instigating rioting and violence in D.H. Pora, during the 2016 unrest," the statement said.
As per the statement, he continues to be "a hardcore OGW of banned terror outfits, in particular the HM, and his affiliation has perpetually aided terrorist activities in and around Kulgam, collecting information for facilitating attacks, clandestinely."
An Assistant Lineman in the Jal Shakti Department, Anayatullah Shah Pirzada, son of Abdul Rashid Shah Pirzada and a resident of Watergam locality of Rafiabad area in Baramulla district, is accused of being a militant associate of Al-Badr Mujahideen.
As per the spokesman, Anayatullah has worked covertly in a variety of ways to support the agenda of militants. "He had direct association with dreaded terrorists like Yousuf Baloch and Tameem, who were the commanders of Al-Badr Mujahideen, operating at different times in Kashmir. He has been involved in various FIRs pertaining to the recovery of satellite phones, hand grenades etc and communicating with the terrorists of Al-Badr Mujahideen based in Pakistan."
The government, as per the statement, has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards anti-national elements who have been taking advantage of being in government service.
