Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing heightened security following two separate incidents: a firing attack on a CRPF checkpoint in Kulgam and the recovery of the bullet-riddled bodies of two Special Police Officers in Kishtwar. Three CRPF personnel were injured when motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire at the Akhran checkpoint near Mir Bazar on November 11. In Kishtwar, the bodies of two missing SPOs were recovered from the Dachhan forest area, with their service weapons missing. Meanwhile, security agencies are searching for suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Mohammad Latif Bhat, with a ₹15 lakh reward announced for information leading to him. Police have also put up posters of four wanted terrorists. In a separate operation in Baramulla's Baderkote forests, security forces arrested a suspect and recovered two hand grenades. Search operations continue across the region.
