Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Special Cell and the State Investigation Agency (SIA) have secured an Interpol Red Corner Notice against Hizbul Mujahideen-designated terrorist Imtiyaz Ahmad Kandoo, also known as Fayaz and Sajad. The notice matters because it connects a domestic terrorism case to international police cooperation and the wider challenge of tracking fugitives across jurisdictions.

The accused is linked to the 2013 Hygam terror attack in Sopore, in which four Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel were killed. The release also says he is wanted in multiple other terrorism-related cases, including attacks, targeted killings, arms smuggling, and narco-terror financing.
