He was involved in the killing of non local labourer at Wachi, Shopian on Oct 18, 2024. This comes days after India and Pakistan's agreement for an immediate ceasefire. It all started with the devastating terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. Responding to the incident, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7. After this, Pakistan launched drone strikes targeting locations across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. Although Indian defence systems successfully intercepted these attacks, concerns grew about potential escalation between the two nuclear-capable nations. The ceasefire agreement proved short-lived, with Pakistan violating the terms within hours in Srinagar and other border regions. The Indian government subsequently issued a stern warning, establishing that any future terrorist activities on Indian territory would be considered warfare and met with appropriate military response. A senior government representative stated: "Any future act of terror in India will be considered an act of war against the country and will be responded to accordingly." This declaration signifies a fundamental change in India's strategic position, establishing strict boundaries for Pakistan-based terrorist organisations.
