The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir on 10.04.2025 dismissed two employees, belonging one each to Police Department (Assistant Wireless Operator) and Public Works (R&B) Department (Senior Assistant) in terms of Article 311 of the Constitution of India for their deep involvement in anti-national activities.
The activities of these below mentioned employees had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they found them thickly involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the State evidencing their involvement in terror related activities.
Basharat Ahmad Mir, Assistant Wireless Operator in Jammu and Kashmir Police Department S/o Ghulam Mohammad Mir R/o Upper Brein District Srinagar, was under intelligence radar on the basis of highly credible inputs from agencies that he was in continuous touch with Pakistan Intelligence Operatives. He was sharing critical and vital information to the Adversary about security installations and deployment with the enemies.
He, being a trained police official, posted at a sensitive place, had access to the vital information concerning National Security but instead of choosing to shoulder the responsibility of a responsible police official, chose otherwise to be an active conduit playing in the hands of the adversary. His actions posed a significant threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India having potential to comprise broader National Security Interest of India.
Ishtiyak Ahmed Malik, Senior Assistant in Public Works (R&B) Department S/o Late Ghulam Rasool Malik Ahmad R/o Shitroo Larnoo, District Anantnag, is listed as an active member of the proscribed unlawful association (JeI-JK) and terror associate of proscribed terrorist organization Hizbul-Mujahideen.
He, as a key functionary of JeI, played a crucial role in strengthening the organization within his sphere of influence. He also facilitated creation of network of sympathizers who later became Overground workers and foot soldiers of Hizbul Mujahideen terror outfit, which has been involved in series of terrorist attacks on Indian Security Forces, Politicians, Government Functionaries, Civilians, Military Establishments and Critical Infrastructure. He covertly facilitated terrorist activities of Hizbul Muzahideen by providing food, shelter and other logistics to the terrorists and played a significant role in aiding, facilitating, guiding and abetting terrorist activities especially in South Kashmir. He used to provide crucial intelligence to the terrorists regarding movement of security forces, helping them to evade capture and launch counter attacks often resulting in casualties among security forces.
A Zero tolerance policy has been adopted towards the anti-national elements who have been taking advantage of being in the Government service.
