The event started when security forces launched an operation against militants in the Alshipora region based on information that militants were present there.
IGP Kashmir ADGP Vijay Kumar said that Abrar had something to do with the death of Kashmiri Pandit Sanjay Sharma. Sanjay Sharma was sadly killed in February, not far from his home in the Achan area of Pulwama.
He had never lived anywhere else but his city and worked as an ATM guard at J&K Bank. Last month, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) searched seven places in three districts in south Kashmir that were connected to the murder of Sharma.
