India Today reports that Bhat escaped during an encounter in Shopian in which LeT commander Zakir Ganai was killed. NDTV identifies him as Latif Bhat. Investigators suspect Bhat helped coordinate the killing of a head constable and two migrant workers. On July 31, two workers from Chhattisgarh were shot in Kulgam. Deepak died at the scene and Bhupender later died in hospital. Agencies are examining possible links to The Resistance Front and cross-border handlers, though these remain allegations under investigation. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - ndtv.com Tags: Jammu and Kashmir, LeT, migrant workers, security agencies, targeted killings Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/forces-search-for-suspected-let-commander-in-kashmir-killings/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
