New video shows LeT's Naveed Jutt with Hizbul militants in J&K

A fresh video has surfaced here showing Lashkar-e-Taiba militant Naveed Jutt, who escaped from police custody last month, with top militants of the Hizbul Mujahideen in a forest area of the Valley.

The video shows Jutt, carrying an automatic rifle, exchanging hugs with some Hibzul Mujahideen militants, although police officials refused to comment on the video saying they were verifying its veracity.
The video is believed to have been filmed somewhere in a forest area of south Kashmir, as Jutt had joined Saddam Padder in Pulwama after his escape from custody from the SMHS hospital on February 6.

Two cops, on escort duty with Jutt, were shot dead by the militant and his accomplices before he made good his escape. Four people were arrested by police for facilitating Jutt's escape. 

Jutt alias Abu Hanzullah alias Munnu alias Chotu, a resident of Sahiwala, Multan in Punjab Pakistan, was arrested in a joint operation by Jammu and Kashmir police, 62 Rashtriya Riffles and 18th Battalion of CRPF in Kulgam district of south Kashmir on June 20, 2014.

Jutt, who was then acting as district commander of Lashkar in south Kashmir, had told his interrogators that he was trained in the same “Aksa” camp where Kasab had undergone arms training. A prized catch Jutt had given insight of Lashkar’s working in Pakistan, to his interrogators. He had told his integrators that Lashkar bosses had become increasingly cautious after the arrest of Kasab. 

Sources said he had told his interrogators that Lashkar top trainers were teaching the militants not to repeat the mistakes made by Kasab during the attack in Mumbai. Particularly the cadres were being trained how to conceal identities while speaking over phones and avoid landing into custody in which Kasab failed.

A school dropout, Jutt was admitted in the Lashkar training camp as a shepherd by his  father when he was 12 years old. For four years he was taking care of cattle and alternately training in arms before he was sent to Kashmir in 2012. From early 2013 he was operating in south Kashmir and has been involved in number of killings and attacks on security forces.
