Thank you!
So different reports say different things, mainly because the Indian government had/has a vested interest in keeping this as under wraps as possible. However, this is what it seems like most likely happened. As I mentioned in the post, Burhan had become a poster boy of sorts for the insurgency in Kashmir. The main issue that India had with him was that he posted a number of videos on different sights advocating for fighting against the Indian military forces, as well as threatening those military forces if they did not comply with the wishes of the insurgents. Basically, while he and his group had never personally been caught doing anything illegal, he was openly threatening the Indian state, as well as inspiring young men to join the insurgency.
