Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have launched a coordinated manhunt for Latif Bhat, a commander associated with the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. As part of the ongoing operation, authorities have distributed 'wanted' posters featuring Bhat’s photograph across multiple districts in South Kashmir and various regions within the Jammu province.

The announcement of a Rs 15 lakh bounty marks a significant escalation in the efforts to apprehend the commander. While the report confirms the distribution of these posters and the financial incentive offered for information leading to his capture, it does not provide specific details regarding the timeline of the operation or the specific incidents Bhat is alleged to have been involved in. The search remains active across the specified regions as security personnel continue to monitor the area for his whereabouts.
