Raj began formulating his plan to dismantle the militants in Kashmir. He weighed his options carefully.
**Option 1:** Predict the militants' locations and anonymously pass the information to army officials. The army would handle the rest—simple and direct. However, the drawbacks were significant: the army would need time to verify the intelligence, potentially leading to civilian or military casualties in the meantime. In many cases, the militants would be captured, jailed, and sustained on taxpayer money through lengthy court proceedings.
**Option 2:** Predict the locations himself, bypass the army entirely, and deploy ASUR. ASUR would capture the militants, extract information through interrogation, and repeat the process until the network was eradicated. The main challenge was that ASUR currently had no presence or infrastructure in Kashmir. Building it would take time—four to six months—but it could be done.
Over the next few hours, Raj focused on gathering intelligence. He spread out a detailed map of Kashmir and began predicting the militants' locations. After three intensive hours, he had pinpointed 140 militants across 26 villages.
With locations secured, he moved on to names—a far more time-consuming task, as he had to cross-reference local aliases and known identities. It took him two full days, but he finally compiled a complete list of all 140 names.
Satisfied with the dossier, Raj summoned Arjun Das to his office.
Arjun entered promptly. "Boss, do you need anything?"
Raj handed him the thick file. "Take this. It contains the names of 140 militants and the exact villages where they're hiding."
He paused, then asked, "How many ASUR agents do we have available for immediate deployment to Kashmir?"
Das replied, "We now have a total of 500 ASUR operatives. Three hundred and fifty are currently tied up in ongoing missions, and we need at least 100 to maintain security around our industries—there have been multiple assassination attempts lately. That leaves us with only 50 free agents."
Raj nodded. "Fifty will suffice for the initial phase, but we need to expand. Recruit 200 more. I'll provide the JS-1 evolution serum for them."
He continued, "From the file, select details on 20 militants and pass them anonymously to the military. Make sure our involvement stays hidden."
Das assured him, "Don't worry, boss. I'll handle it cleanly."
Raj leaned forward. "Begin mobilizing the rest of ASUR. Start preparations for operations in Kashmir—establish secret hideouts, gather local intelligence, and build operational bases as quickly as possible."
"Understood, boss," Das replied.
"One more thing," Raj added. "Do we have sufficient weapons?"
"We've acquired a substantial stock—German rifles, pistols, and sniper rifles from the international black market. We've also seized weapons from underworld operations. Once we begin in Kashmir, we'll replenish stocks by capturing the militants' own arsenals. It should sustain us for now."
"Good. You're dismissed."
Das left, and Raj finally allowed himself to relax. The past few days had been relentless; he hadn't slept properly in nearly a week.
A few days later
Kashmir – Baramulla Army Battalion Operations Base
Major Sudhir Singh stared intently at the file on his desk, his expression grave. He looked up at the officer standing before him.
"Are you certain about this intelligence? And how exactly did we receive it?"
The officer replied, "Sir, during a routine patrol, a young boy approached us and handed over the file. We questioned him, but he said the person who gave it to him had their face covered. Inside, there was a note stating that the enclosed names and locations belonged to active militants."
Major Singh nodded slowly. "Very well. Assemble a team. Investigate these leads discreetly. If the information checks out, make the arrests."
"Jai Hind, sir!" the officer saluted and left.
Meanwhile, ASUR operatives quietly began establishing their covert presence in the valley—setting up fronts like mechanic shops, tailor outlets, and small tea stalls to blend into the local fabric.
Within one to two weeks, the dual operations bore fruit. Twenty-eight militants were captured alive, twelve were killed in exchanges of fire, and three army officers lost their lives in the crossfire.
The remaining militant groups grew increasingly furious, yet they stayed silent—for now—awaiting orders from their superiors across the border.
