Pulwama terror attack
India designates JeM's Mohiuddin Aurangzeb involved in Pulwama attack on its terrorist list
New Delhi/IBNS: The Centre on Monday designated Jaish-e-Mohammed's Mohiuddin Aurangzeb, involved in the Pulwama terror attack, as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
According to a Home Ministry statement, Mohiuddin Aurangzeb Alamgir was designated a terrorist after it was ascertained that he was involved in the terror attack on a CRPF bus in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.
A total of 40 CRPF personnel were killed in the February 14, 2019, Pulwama terrorist attack.
About a fortnight later, India had carried out an airstrike on terrorist camps inside Pakistan in response.
In a notification, the Home Ministry said Alamgir, 39, who used aliases Maktab Ameer, Mujahid Bhai and Muhammad Bhai, was involved in the gruesome attack on the CRPF convoy in Pulwama.
He has been involved in anti-India terror activities on behalf of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and looks after the terror outfit's fund collection activities from Pakistani nationals and routes the funds to Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
