Srinagar. Police in Srinagar city of Jammu and Kashmir have released posters of four wanted terrorists. A reward has been announced for those who provide reliable information about these four. Those whose posters have been put up include Bilal Ahmed Mir of Sopore, Abid Qayoom Lone of Baramulla, Mohammad Latif Bhat of Kulgam and Mohammad Omar Mir of Sopore.
The posters have photographs of wanted terrorists and the caption reads, “Whoever provides credible information regarding the activities/presence of these terrorists, the identity of the informant will be kept strictly confidential and a reward will be given for credible information.” Jammu and Kashmir Police uses wanted posters, lookout notices and public reward announcements as counter-terrorism tactics to locate active terrorists, gather confidential intelligence and dismantle networks across the valley.
Jammu and Kashmir Police often releases Urdu and English posters containing photographs, names and native villages of terrorists from groups like Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Cash rewards ranging from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 20 lakh are regularly announced for actionable, confidential information. MA Srinagar has been appointed to put pressure on local networks and extract information from the public. Posters are systematically pasted at major public places and traffic routes like Road, Naugam and various places in South Kashmir (Pulwama, Kulgam and Anantnag).
After major security incidents like the Pahalgam attack, security agencies pasted posters of key suspects across South Kashmir, on which rewards like Rs 20 lakh were announced. Jaish-e-Mohammed posters signed by people like Commander Hanzla Bhai in Nowgam, Srinagar in October 2025 proved to be an important early warning for the police.
CCTV footage revealed who had pasted the posters, based on which Jammu and Kashmir Police busted a drone module linked to a multi-state terror network and planned stores of explosive material. The police notices consistently emphasize that the identity of informers is kept strictly confidential, and special helpline numbers and channels for anonymous reporting are also made available.
