A shocking case has emerged from Jammu and Kashmir where security agencies arrested a Pakistani national allegedly linked to banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The accused had reportedly entered India to carry out terror attacks but later backed out and even got a hair transplant done in Srinagar.
Officials identified him as Mohammad Usman Jatt, also known as “Chinese.” He is said to be a resident of Lahore and an active operative of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Earlier this year, Srinagar Police arrested him along with another suspected LeT operative, Abdullah alias Abu Huraira.
During questioning by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Jatt reportedly said he had crossed into India with plans to carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. However, after spending time in Kashmir, he claimed his perspective changed because the reality on the ground was very different from what he had been told in terror camps.
Investigators said he gradually moved away from the mission after living in Kashmir for some time.
The matter came to light during the probe into a terror network busted in November 2025, known as the “Al Falah module,” which allegedly involved radicalised educated youths, including doctors.
During the investigation, Jatt also revealed that he had been dealing with hair loss for a long time. He reportedly believed advanced hair treatment was only available in Western countries. While staying in Srinagar’s old city with another operative, Sajad Zargam, he allegedly found a local hair transplant clinic and decided to undergo the procedure there.
Officials said he stayed in Srinagar for several months during and after the treatment. After the surgery, he allegedly travelled with Abu Huraira to Jammu and later Nepal to arrange fake documents, including a passport and PAN card, so he could escape to a Gulf country.
Investigators also said another accused, Umar, originally from Karachi, entered India in 2012 using forged documents and had been living under a fake identity.
Security agencies are still investigating the wider network, including possible sleeper cells and support systems operating in and outside Jammu and Kashmir.
