The warning in Urdu was issued by the militant outfit’s district commander through posters pasted overnight at different places in the district.
The Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has issued a stern warning to policemen in Doda district “to quit and return home forthwith, otherwise be prepared to die”.
The warning in Urdu was issued by the militant outfit’s district commander through posters pasted overnight at different places in the district. The posters inscribed with the Lashkar logo and flag mention a mobile number and ask people to call in case they have any doubts.
“Everyone is informed through this notice that the boys working with STF [Special Task Force], IRP [Indian Reserve Police] or as SPOs [special police officers] should quit and return home. We had warned you earlier also and an incident had happened here. In the coming days, we will kill five more boys,” the posters read.
“Don’t remain in the illusion that we are only a few, our number is in thousands. Don’t take this warning lightly. We will convert this warning into action which could mean death. Anyone having a doubt can contact us on this number.”
Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda, however, dismissed the threat, saying J&K Police had dealt with such warnings in the past and would deal with them effectively in future also.
“Such threats have been issued in the past also. J&K Police will continue to play a frontline role on the anti-militancy front. These threats are ineffective,” he said.
The LeT warning comes a day after 943 cadets passed out from the police training school at Talwara in Udhampur district on Thursday after completing basic training.
Chief minister Omar Abdullah, who attended the function, lauded the role of the state police in restoring peace in the state. “J&K Police have worked in challenging circumstances and earned a name in the country for their outstanding performance. You [cops] have also rendered stupendous service in protecting human rights and upholding the government’s commitment to not tolerate rights violations,” he said.
