Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind, which is headed by Zakir Rashid Bhat alias Zakir Musa, also released an undated picture of the purported south Indian militant along with outfit’s deputy chief Rehan Khan. On close observation, the man in the picture issued with the statement is the same person whose picture went viral on social media immediately after three militants were killed in Anantnag. Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind, however, didn’t say anything whether the purported south Indian had left their group and joined “Islamic State Kashmir” as was stated in the caption on the viral picture. Interestingly, last December, Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind issued an audio message on the 25th anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition, calling all Muslims in India to join jihad. The voice in the audio clip was attributed to a person who was named as Sultan Zabul Al-Hindi. Zabul is one of the 34 provinces in Afghanistan located on the south side. “Mujahideen are aware of all attacks on Muslims in India and we think of ways to protect them from it,” the speaker in that message is heard saying. The Police, however, said that after all efforts to identify the militant failed to fructify, he was buried in Boniyar. A news report even hinted that the unidentified militant may by from Pakistan. “(T)he body of the unknown militant believed to be from Pakistan was buried with the help of local Auqaf on the intervening night of March 12 and 13 at around 1:30 am,” the report said. If confirmed, it won’t be for the first time that youth from south India have come here to fight against the forces.
