Wanted Terrorist's Sons, 9 Others Sacked From Government Jobs In J&K

The services of the employees were terminated under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution on recommendations of a designated committee

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has terminated the services of 11 government employees, including two sons of most wanted terrorist Syed Salahuddin, for allegedly passing on information to terrorists and extending logistic support. A senior government official said Syed Ahmad Shakeel and Shahid Yousuf, sons of Syed Salahuddin, were dismissed from service for their alleged involvement in terror-funding activities. "NIA has tracked terror funding trails of both the persons who have been found involved in raising, receiving, collecting, and transferring funds through hawala transactions for terror activities of Hizbul Mujahideen," the official said. The services of the 11 employees were terminated under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution, under which no inquiry is held. The action was taken following a recommendation by a designated committee in the Union Territory for looking into such cases. The senior official said that four out of the 11 employees were working in the Education Department, two in Jammu and Kashmir Police, one in Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, and one each in Agriculture, Skill Development, Power and Health Departments.
