Who is Mudasir Khan? All you need to know about Pulwama terror attack plotter

Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist Mudasir Ahmed Khan, alias 'Mohd Bhai', has been identified as the brains behind the audacious terror strike in Pulwama that left 40 CRPF personnel dead on February 14.

Khan was killed in an encounter in south Kashmir's Tral area on Monday 

According to security officials, 23-year-old Khan, an electrician with a graduate degree hailing from Pulwama district, arranged the vehicle and explosives used in the Pulwama terror strike.

Meanwhile, after completing his graduation, Mudasir Khan did a one-year diploma course as an electrician from an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) 

A resident of Mir Mohalla of Tral, Khan joined the Jaish-e-Mohammed sometime in 2017 as an overground worker and was later drawn into the JeM fold by Noor Mohammed Tantrey, alias 'Noor Trali', who is believed to have helped in the revival of the terror outfit in the Kashmir Valley. 

After Tantrey was killed in December 2017, Mudasir Khan disappeared from his home on January 14, 2018, and has been active since then.

The officials also said that the suicide attacker Adil Ahmed Dar, who blew his explosive-laden vehicle next to a bus in a CRPF convoy on February 14, had been in constant contact with Khan

The eldest son of a labourer, Mudasir Ahmed Khan is also believed to be involved in the terror attack at the army camp in Sunjawan in February 2018, in which six personnel and a civilian were killed.

His role has also come under the lens in the Lethpora attack on a CRPF camp in January 2018 that left five CRPF personnel dead
