Who is Yasir Ahmad Parray?

Yasir Ahmad Parray was an active terrorist of the Jaish-E-Mohammad (JeM) outfit who joined militant ranks on June 20, 2019. After he was accused of multiple terror attacks in the valley, a case was registered against him under section 299 CRPC for absconding. According to the officials, he was part of the Jaish Hizbul meeting in December 2019 to carry out an IED strike on Republic Day 2020. The attack was to be carried out on vital installations of Security Forces in South Kashmir. The slain terrorists were responsible for a number of other terror crime cases in the union territory, they added. In 2021, Parray's family urged him to surrender to the forces.
