Former SSG Commando Who Trained Anti-India Militants Killed In Pakistan Army Firing In PoK

Islamabad: Amidst the anti-Pakistan protests in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), a name which was once linked to terrorist activities against India has once again come into discussion. Farooq Khan alias Commander Farooq Sudhan, a former Pakistani SSG (Special Services Group) commando and later associated with Hizbul Mujahideen, Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI) and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), is no longer alive.

According to local reports, he died after being injured in firing by Pakistani Rangers during the Muzaffarabad march. In recent months he had become a supporter of the ongoing movement against the Pakistan government.

Who was Farooq Khan and how did his journey change?

Farooq Khan was a resident of Palandari area of ​​Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He was posted as a commando in the Special Services Group (SSG) of the Pakistan Army for many years. After retiring from the army, he turned to separatist and terrorist organisations. Initially he joined JKLF and later started playing an active role in organisations like Hizbul Mujahideen and HUJI. According to reports related to security matters, he was involved in training terrorists in weapon handling, infiltration and guerrilla warfare.

What was his connection with 'Khalid bin Waleed' camp?

Security agencies and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) reports have linked Farooq Khan's name to the notorious 'Khalid bin Waleed' training camp of Hizbul Mujahideen. It was claimed that in this camp, terrorists were prepared to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir. In some old photographs that have surfaced recently, he is allegedly shown training armed recruits. However, these pictures and claims could not be independently confirmed.

How did the protestor become the anti-Pakistan face?

It is said that after 2003, Farooq Khan distanced himself from Hizbul Mujahideen and became active in the activities of JKLF. In recent months, he was also openly involved in the ongoing movement against political rights, economic problems and administrative policies in Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir. On July 27, during a march from Rawalakot towards Muzaffarabad, there was a violent clash between Pakistani Rangers and protesters, in which he was seriously injured. He later died during treatment. Incidents of protests and clashes with security forces have been continuously coming to light in the area for several weeks.

Why are questions arising after death?

After the death of Farooq Khan, many speculations are being made in PoJK. Some local people allege that he was questioning Pakistan's policies and the role of security agencies in recent times. However, these claims have not been confirmed by any independent agency nor has the Pakistan government or army issued any detailed official statement in this regard. Therefore these claims cannot be considered verified facts at present.

Is the protest movement taking a new turn in PoK?

Demonstrations have been going on in PoK for the last several weeks. The protesters are demanding political rights, economic relief and change in the governance system. According to various reports, there have been reports of several deaths and a large number of people being injured or arrested in the action of security forces. These incidents have further increased tension in the area. Farooq Khan's death is also being considered a part of this wider incident, although different claims are being made regarding his role and circumstances.
