By Sheikh Qayoom Jammu, Feb 13 : Hidayatullah Malik, the chief of Jaish-e-Mustafa (JeM), a front outfit of Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) terror group, who was arrested on February 6 in J&K’s Jammu city, has made shocking disclosures to his interrogators sending the security paraphernalia into a tailspin, both here and in Delhi.
Malik was arrested from Sanjwani area of Jammu on February 6 although he had been putting up in Bhatindi area of the city for quite sometime.
Malik, according to a top source, has disclosed that he had carried out a successful video recce of the office of Ajit Doval, the national security advisor, at Sardar Patel Bhawan in Delhi.
“He disclosed that he had carried out the video recce on the instructions of his handler in Pakistan who had directed him to do so because the terrorists were planning to target some of the highest value Indian targets,” top source said.
Doval is one of the most highly protected persons in the country. He has been on the terrorist hit list because of his role in the Uri surgical strike in 2016 and the Balakote attack in 2019.
Doval had also added to the worries of his enemies across the LoC by his masterly handling of the security situation in Kashmir in 2019 when articles 370 and 35A were abrogated and the state of J&K divided into two union territories.
