Local Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Latif is suspected of executing the attack in Kulgam, in which two Hindu migrant workers were singled out and shot at point-blank range, News18 reported. Investigating agencies are now attempting to map Latif's movements and operational choices. During a recent operation in Shopian, Latif managed to escape while his operational partner Zakir Ganai was killed.
