A Border Security Force jawan went missing from the battalion headquarters in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar in the late hours of Thursday, after which an extensive search operation was launched to trace him, according to a report.

The missing jawan was identified as Sugam Choudhary, who is a part of the 60th Battalion stationed at Panthachowk. He remains untraceable despite efforts to look for him in nearby areas, India Today reported.

A missing report has been filed, and efforts are being made to search for him.

The turn of events comes as the security forces have ramped up anti-terror operations across Jammu and Kashmir since the Pahalgam terror attack.

Earlier this week, the mastermind of the Pahalgam terror attack – Suleman Shah – and two other terrorists were gunned down by the forces under ‘Operation Mahadev’ in the Dachigam area of Srinagar.

Two more terrorists were neutralised after they attempted to infiltrate through the Line of Control in the Poonch sector under Operation Shiv Shakti a day later.

Several terrorists and their supporters have also been arrested during the months-long crackdown in the area.
