The dismissed employees have been identified as Khurshid Ahmed Rather (KAR), a teacher posted in Karnah, and Siyad Ahmad Khan (SAK), an Assistant Stockman in the Sheep Husbandry Department, Keran. Officials said that the action followed the recovery of “incriminating material evidence” by law enforcement and intelligence agencies establishing their links with LeT operatives.

A senior official confirmed that the terminations were carried out under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution of India, which empowers the government to dismiss employees without inquiry if it is deemed necessary in the interest of state security.

Case Details

  • Khurshid Ahmed Rather (KAR):
    • Appointed in 2003 as Rehbar-e-Taleem, confirmed as teacher in 2008.
    • Under suspension since his arrest on 26 January 2024; currently lodged in Kupwara District Jail.
