Srinagar: Based on the provided article, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) of Jammu and Kashmir police is conducting raids in Awantipora and Bijbehara in South Kashmir. The raids are connected to the escape of Hizbul terrorist Amin Baba. As of the time the report was filed, there was no information available regarding any arrests or recoveries. Further details are expected to follow.
While the provided text does not offer more information about the escape itself, previous public records indicate that a Hizbul Mujahideen divisional commander named Mohd. Amin Baba, also known as Abid, escaped to Pakistan in May 2005 using a false identity. The investigation at that time had led to the arrest of individuals who helped him flee. The name Amin Baba has also been associated with other individuals in terrorism-related contexts, including a long-surviving militant from Kishtwar and a Malaysian ISIS figure. It is important to note that without further details from the current investigation, it is not possible to confirm if the current raids relate to the 2005 escape or a more recent, separate incident involving an individual with the same name.
