Mousa Hamid was a Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist from Quetta, Balochistan. His mother died when he was eight and his father died in Afghanistan, and he became a jihadist at a young age. In 2015, he was sent from Rautahat, Nepal to infiltrate India through Chirai, take a bus to Lakhimpur and stay there for two months, travel to Uri by train, and switch on a cell phone given to him by LeT. He was captured by Indian Army troops while attempting to swim across the Indian border, and he was tortured into confessing that LeT was planning another terrorist attack against India, although he didn't know where or when. This led to the RAW launching Operation Phantom to hunt down and annihilate the LeT leadership.
