The 22-year-old was one of the five terrorists who had crossed over from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and hid in the cave after army detected the infiltration and was hunting for them in Rafiabad area of Kashmir.
He panicked and begged for mercy after army commandos fired ‘chilly grenades’ and teargas shells into a cave to flush out the terrorists who were holed up there since last night.
After crossing over from PoK in a place over 100 kms north of here, the five Lashker-e-Taiba militants made several attempts to breach the tight cordon placed along the LoC, army officials said.
The realignment of security layers along the LoC was the brainchild of outgoing Corps Commander of 15 Corps Lt Gen Subrata Saha, who moved on to Army Headquarters for a new assignment.
Giving details, senior officials said Army’s technical intelligence had picked up signals about a group trying to infiltrate through this area during the night of August 25-26.
A cordon was laid and one of the militant was killed yesterday in an encounter. However, there was no whereabouts of the remaining terrorists, the officials said.
When the operation was being called off, a reluctant Army Major insisted that the terrorists were still on the Indian territory and a crack team of various units was formed for a search operation.
During the operation, a natural cave was found on the heights in Rafiabad, they said. When the forces approached it, they were fired upon and in the ensuing encounter, three Lashker militants were killed.
Apprehending that there could be some more terrorists inside the cave, the troops then fired several rounds of tear gas shells and ‘chilly grenades’ inside to flush them out.
After sometime, troops entered the cave and found Sajjad weeping bitterly — one because of panic and secondly because of the effect of chilly grenades.
He was immediately arrested and sent to Joint Interrogation Centre in Srinagar for thorough questioning.
Sajjad Ahmed was subsequently arrested and he identified himself as a resident of Muzzafargarh in Pakistan’s Punjab province.

I’ve encountered my share of chili grenades in my lifetime.
chillies are wild mfers
GAUHATI, India – The Indian military has a new weapon against terrorism: the world's hottest chili.
After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized "bhut jolokia," or "ghost chili," to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects, defense officials said Tuesday.
It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the [un]scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.
"The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories, a fact confirmed by scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization," Col. R. Kalia, a defense spokesman in the northeastern state of Assam, told The Associated Press.
Oh, a chili grenade ..... ‘chilly’ to me is cold and I was wondering how in the heck that would work!
It's "chili grenade" as in "chili pepper" and not as in "Chilly Willy."
That’s what needed for America’s inner city ghettos whenever they erupt into riot zones.
They may have also used the top secret "Chilly Gun" as well...
Chili....not chilly.
More beans, Mr Taggert?
Got loser written all over him, doesn’t he?
I take it the translation should’ve been ‘chile grenades,’ and not grenades that froze his butt off?
This is why you should always have an ample supply of crackers.
LOL!
They have a follow on weapons system that will be employed soon: The Pork Sausage Grenade.
Ghost Pepper plants are easy to grow and (for obvious reasons) quite immune from bugs and rabbits, deer, etc. When dehydrated, the peppers keep well and a VERY SMALL amount of the resulting powder will flavor a very large pot of chili!!!
Recalling your experience with canning your peppers.
Now what was that recipe again?
;>)
gives me chills.....
