Two J&K govt employees sacked for 'terror links'
NEW DELHI: Services of two J&K govt employees were terminated by LG Manoj Sinha Thursday over alleged terror links, taking the total number of such dismissals in the UT to 70.
Senior assistant in J&K PWD Ishtiyaq Ahmad Malik and assistant wireless operator in J&K Police Basharat Ahmad Mir were sacked by invoking Article 311(2)(c ) of the Constitution on grounds that included trying to create a network of terrorist sympathisers & overground workers, leaking sensitive information on the movement of security forces, & aiding transport of arms and ammunition for use in terror attacks in J&K.
Malik, shortly after being appointed to govt service in 2000, had started hobnobbing with Jamat-e-Islami and Hizbul Mujahideen, sources in J&K govt said. "During interrogation he admitted to have played a key role in organising mobs for street violence, arson and hartals after the killing of Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani," the source told TOI. Mir, who was appointed as a police constable operator in 2010, was in touch with Pakistani intelligence operatives and was leaking critical information.
