Print edition : March 12, 2021 T+ T- After an encounter in which Mudasir Khan, the key conspirator behind the Pulwama attack, was killed in Pinglish village of Tral, 40 km south of Srinagar, on March 11, 2019.

Ever since the fidayeen attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in Lethpora, Pulwama, on February 14, 2019, which claimed the lives of 40 paramilitary personnel, there have been pressing questions in people’s minds about how the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) was able to carry out such a huge terror operation without the security agencies getting a whiff of it.
