Maths teacher who became a dreaded terror overlord
Top Hizbul Mujahideen commander in J&K Riyaz Naikoo was a maths teacher at a private school and would give free tuitions to children in his native village of Baighpora before he shifted gears to join the terror outfit in 2012 and climbed up its hierarchy. The turning point that led Naikoo to the path of violence came in 2010, with the killing of 17-year-old Tufail Ahmed Mattoo by a police teargas shell.
