Jammu and Kashmir Police have issued sketches of three terrorists responsible for the recent death of four troops, including a captain, in Doda attack. A financial reward of Rs 15 lakh has been offered for information leading to the capture Doda attack accused. 


Doda, in the Jammu region, has seen three terror occurrences since June, which security officials think are attempts by Pakistan-based handlers to reignite terrorism in the hilly district.


The police spokesperson in Doda reported that the terrorists are advancing through the district's upper reaches, particularly the Dessa forest, where an army captain and three troops were killed in a gunfight during an anti-terror operation on July 16.


The three terrorists are each wanted for Rs 5 lakh. The police have asked the public for information, stating that the identities of informants will be kept private. Tips can be directed to senior police officers or the control room.

In addition to the fatal clash in Dessa forest, at least ten security personnel were injured in separate terror attacks on Chattergalla Pass, Gandoh, Kastigarh, and Ghadi Bagwah forests between June 12 and July 18.

On June 26, three terrorists were killed during a daylong operation in the district's Gandoh region.
