The terrorists were last seen in the forests of Malhar, Bani and Seojdhar
Jammu and Kashmir:
Jammu and Kashmir police on Saturday released sketches of four terrorists seen in 'dhoks' (mud houses) in the higher reaches of Kathua district and offered a reward of Rs 20 lakh (approximately Rs 20 million) for any reliable information about them.
In Kathua district, terrorists carried out a deadly ambush on an army patrol in the remote Machedi forest area on July 8, killing five soldiers, including a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO).
Despite a massive search operation, terrorists linked to the Kashmir Tigers, a shadowy group of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad organization, who recently infiltrated the country, have not yet been found.
In a post on X, police published sketches of four terrorists who were last seen in 'dhoks' in Malhar, Bani and Seojdhar forests in the upper reaches of the district.
“…A reward of Rs 5 lakhs on each terrorist for actionable information. Anyone with credible information about terrorists will also be suitably rewarded,” Kathua police said in its release.

The ambush in Kathua was followed on July 15 by another attack by a different group of terrorists in the Desa forest in Doda district, in which four soldiers, including a captain, were killed.
The Doda district police have also released the sketches and a reward of Rs 500,000 each for the four terrorists involved in the attack. The hunt for them continues.
Earlier on June 9, nine passengers, including seven pilgrims returning from Shiv Khori temple, were killed by terrorists in Reasi district. The terrorists involved in the attack are also at large and are on the run despite a cash reward on their heads. PTI TAS TAS SKY SKY
