Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, terminated the employment of four government workers for having ties to terrorism as part of a broad campaign against the “terror ecosystem,” including Bitta Karate’s wife and Syed Salahuddin’s son.
Farooq Ahmed Dar, aka Bitta Karatewife,’s Assbah Arzoomand Khan, a senior JKLF terrorist, is a Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service (JKAS) official from the 2011 batch.
By using Article 311 of the Indian Constitution, Muheet Ahmad Bhat, Scientist-D, Majid Hussain Qadri, Senior Assistant Professor, and Syed Abdul Mueed, Manager IT, Jammu & Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI), were all dismissed from their positions.
Assbah Arzoomand Khan, according to the government, was fired because it was discovered through investigations by the administration of the Union Territory that she was a separatist with close links to terrorist organisations and the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI.
“When Karate was on trial, she gained attention. In 2003, Assabah started working at Kashmir’s Sher e Kashmir University of Agricultural Science and Technology. Her appointment was supposedly made behind closed doors and it looked like someone in the administration was in charge of it “According to a top officer in the JK administration.
He claims that it has also come to light that she missed work for extended periods between 2003 and 2007 without being disciplined. Finally, in August 2007, she was fired.
She visited Germany, the UK, Helsinki, Sri Lanka, and Thailand while she was away from her job, he said.
Additionally, the research turned up that she was a JKLF courier.
An officer with knowledge of the current investigation against her said, “During most of her visits, she used to depart using aircraft through various airports but used to return to India by road routes either from Nepal or Bangladesh.”
Assbah Arzoomand Khan passed her JKAS certification in 2011, and according to the documentation kept by the UT government, she married Bitta Karate shortly after.
According to the JK administration’s roster, Muheet Ahmad Bhat, a scientist D at Kashmir University’s department of computer sciences, was also fired for having ties to terrorism.
“From 2017 to 2019, Muheet served on the board of directors for the Kashmir University Teachers Association (KUTA), and from 2017 to 2019, he served as its president. He was instrumental in planning the 2016 student and street protests that resulted in the deaths of several children “An official involved in the investigation revealed.
He said that Muheet Ahmad Bhat, a KUTA member, sent money from the organisation to terrorist families and several stone-throwers. According to the JK administration’s dossier, he sent money to Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists’ families in January 2018.
“Additionally, he set up money to be paid to the families of terrorists murdered by security personnel. To dodge audit scanners, KUTA has skillfully delayed registering as a society while still using financial channels.
He is regarded as a pivotal figure in the radicalization of students and dissemination of Pakistani propaganda in Kashmir “the dossier says.
Majid Hussain Qadri is a dedicated LeT terrorist, according to the dossier. As an MBA student at Kashmir University in 2001, “Qadri came in contact with two Pakistani LeT terrorists in August 2001 and became LeT point-person for Kashmir University for radicalisation, recruitment,” according to the dossier, which also notes that in 2002 he was assigned to serve as a terrorists’ arms courier.
He began serving as the LeT’s spokesperson in 2003 and did so until his imprisonment in June 2004. Additionally, a sniper rifle was found on him. He was held for two years under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act until the court declared him innocent.
He was hired as a contract lecturer at Kashmir University in March 2007. “His employment application was never forwarded to the CID for a character check. At Kashmir University, he was hired as an assistant professor in 2010. In the Department of Management Studies, where he is currently employed, “a high-ranking JK administration official said.
The son of the self-proclaimed Hizbul Mujahideen Supreme Commander, Syed Abdul Mueed, was also fired. He was employed with JKEDI as the IT Manager.
