Bashir Lashkari the man who led attack on police at Anantnag, J&K

He and his team however managed to escape following the attack.

The police of Jammu and Kashmir have identified Bashir Lashkari as the man who led the attack at Anantnag in which 6 policemen were martyred. The attack was carried by LeT led by Bashir Lashkari. We will track him down and make sure justice is done, said J&K DGP S P Vaid.

The attack on the police was an apparent revenge after the security forces in a coordinated operation of Indian Army, Special Operations Group (SoG) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) killed top LeT commander, Junaid Mattoo and two others following a gun battle after they were cordoned in the south Kashmir's Bijbehara area on Friday.

Lashkari led a team of five to carry out the attack. He and his team however managed to escape following the attack. A massive hunt has been launched for these persons.
