‘Human GPS’ Bagu Khan Killed in Jammu and Kashmir Encounter — Who Was the Hizbul Terror Guide?

Bagu Khan facilitated over 100 infiltration attempts across the Line of Control since 1995, making his elimination a significant setback for terrorist networks, officials said.

  • Security forces killed Hizbul Mujahideen commander Bagu Khan, known as the 'human GPS', on 23 August during an infiltration attempt in Jammu and Kashmir's Gurez sector.
  • The mission, conducted collaboratively by security personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir region under the codename Naushera Nar IV, was initiated following intelligence reports indicating an imminent infiltration attempt.
  • Bagu Khan had been active since 1995, facilitating over 100 infiltration attempts with expert navigation skills across difficult terrain, aiding multiple terror groups including Jaish-e-Mohammed.
  • The Army reported that alert troops observed unusual activity close to Nowshera Naar, confronted the intruders who then fired indiscriminately, and responded effectively, resulting in the deaths of Khan and another militant.
  • Khan's killing dealt a severe blow to the logistical networks of terror outfits and is expected to slow infiltration operations as groups seek new guides familiar with the terrain.
