Over Ground Worker Linked To Terrorist Groups Drowns In Kulgam While Attempting To Escape Security Forces News24 –

A 23-year-old Over Ground Worker (OGW) associated with terrorist groups drowned in the Vaishav Nallah of Kulgam South Kashmir, while attempting to evade security forces. The body of Imtiaz Ahmad Magray, a resident of Tangmarg, was recovered from the river on Sunday after he jumped into the fast-moving waters during a police operation.

According to official sources, Magray had been under surveillance following his confession to authorities about his involvement with two Pakistani terrorist hideouts. On May 3, he was detained and admitted to providing food and logistics to terrorists operating in the Tangmarg forest area. Following his cooperation, he agreed to assist security forces in locating a terrorist hideout.

As a joint team of police and army approached the designated area on May 4, Magray made a desperate attempt to escape by leaping into the gushing river. The drone footage captured the moment he jumped into the water, where he was subsequently swept away by the strong current.

Local residents discovered Magray’s body later and promptly alerted the police. A police team arrived on the scene to recover the body for medico-legal procedures. Authorities in the administration informed that legal proceedings are ongoing regarding this incident.
