Indian Army Jawan joins LeT

Times of India reports that an Indian Army jawan has deserted the army, fleeing with three rifles and ammunition, and joined Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Zaffarullah Khan Parray of Behlulia, Doda escaped from Anta camp of the territorial army unit in Dachan area with two AK rifles, one insas rifle, five AK magazines, twi insas magazines and some ammunition last night, police said.

The army and police launched a major operation to track down the absconding jawan, who had apparently joined the Lashkar-e-Taiba outfit, they said.


This is a news of real concern.Apparently he already might have been an LeT operative even before he joined the Army.Joining army might have been a ploy to get inside knowledge.Hopefully the Army will check whether this fugitive has any sensitive data with him.Indian Army should ensure that such traitors don't get into the Army in the first place by even more tougher background check and all.
