Gurdaspur Cop Murders: TTH Claims Responsibility, TTP Links Exposed
Gurdaspur, February 23, 2026
Tehreek-e-Taliban Hindustan (TTH) claimed responsibility via posters for killing ASI Gurnam Singh and Home Guard Ashok Kumar at Adiyan village checkpost, 1.5 km from Pakistan border.
Bodies found with head/chest gunshot wounds; initial reports suggested mutual firing, but CCTV shows suspicious motorbike fleeing, ruling it out. Weapons loaded; families allege cold-blooded murder while asleep.
TTH: Shadowy propaganda front, no verified India presence per intel; used by Pakistan-based TTP to incite fear. Posters threaten forces/police via ‘Al-Burk Brigade’.
TTP Link: 2007-founded group seeks Sharia in Pakistan; history of India threats since 2013. Pakistan blames India falsely; Delhi calls it Pakistan’s terror blowback.
SSP Aditya Sharma: Gangster/terror angles under scrutiny; mobile analysis, CCTV review ongoing. No confirmed TTH footprint yet—likely psy-op.
