LeT man opts for hair transplant post-infiltration, finds J&K reality contrary to terror camp stories

Srinagar: Infiltrating J&K to execute terror attacks for the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani terrorist paused his operations to fulfil a dream - getting a hair transplant.

Mohammed Usman Jatt, alias 'Chinese', told interrogators that he found life in Kashmir completely different from what he had been tutored in terrorist training camps and went for hairline restoration in Srinagar after learning about it from a shop owner, officials said here on Sunday.

The case is being probed by NIA. During interrogation, Jatt spoke about his entry into J&K through the northern part of the Valley and the places where he had spent time, the officials said.


A resident of Lahore and a trained LeT operative, Jutt said he crossed the border with instructions to execute a series of attacks. He was involved in terror activities in north and central Kashmir, the officials said.

However, he claimed that his objectives shifted entirely after he witnessed the reality of daily life in Kashmir which was completely contrary to what they had been told during Lashkar training across the border.
