General Info:
Sheikh Sajad also known as Sajjad Gul, who belongs to the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group, had taken part in the conspiracy to kill journalist Shujaat Bukhari in Srinagar in 2018.

The Union home ministry said Gul is absconding in a case pertaining to recovery of arms and ammunition in Jammu and Kashmir, and he has been actively radicalising, motivating and recruiting youngsters in the Union Territory to support the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Gul has also been involved in funding terrorist activities, it said.

Gul was found involved in hatching a criminal conspiracy, in connivance with other members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, to eliminate Bukhari (a prominent journalist), along with two of his personal security officers, at the busy Press Enclave area of Srinagar on June 14, 2018.

Considering his terror activities, the home ministry designated Gul as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (37 of 1967).
