Videos and photos circulating on social media show local residents of PoK’s Kuiyaan village gathering for the final prayers on July 30. Tahir was reportedly among the Pahalagam terrorists killed in an encounter with security forces in Harwan, Srinagar, on July 28.
Srinagar Senior Superintendent of Police GV Sundeep Chakravarthy confirmed that the terrorists belonged to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and were killed during Operation Mahadev.
According to sources, Tahir was allegedly recruited and trained by the Pakistan-based terror group LeT. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the LeT, claimed responsibility for the attack and was recently designated as a terrorist organization by the United States for its role.
This is not the first time members of the Pakistan Army have attended the funerals of terrorists.
Earlier, army personnel were present at the funeral of terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor, launched by India to avenge the killing of 26 tourists, including a Nepali citizen, in the Pahalagam strike.
The terrorists killed were part of a banned group, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), led by terrorist Hafiz Saeed.
