In a major crackdown against terrorism, the District Police Anantnag has attached a shop named “The Game Modification” situated at Zirpara Bijbehara, which was used by terrorists to plan and execute the murder of a migrant labourer, Deepak Kumar.

On the evening of May 29, 2023, terrorists opened fire on Deepak Kumar near Amusement Park Janglatmandi, causing serious and fatal injuries. He succumbed to his injuries at the Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag.

The police immediately registered an FIR (First Information Report) under sections 7/27 of the Indian Arms Act, section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and sections 16, 18, 20, and 39 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

During the course of the investigation, six terrorists were arrested, all of whom were affiliated with the Kashmir Freedom Fighter (KFF), an offshoot of the proscribed terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM).
