NEW DELHI: The Jammu and Kashmir Police have made a significant breakthrough by arresting two terrorists in the Poonch district, according to Anand Jain, the additional director general of police (ADGP) of J&K. The arrests have led to the resolution of several grenade attack cases in the region.
“We have got a big achievement because we have arrested two terrorists who had carried out activities like grenade lobbying, anti-national posters were put up.Grenades were thrown at Gurudwaras, temples, hospitals, and army bases,” Anand Jain told ANI.
He emphasised that the terrorists aimed to disrupt the communal harmony in the area.
The White Knight Corps reported that a joint operation by Rashtriya Rifles and Jammu and Kashmir Police, based on specific intelligence, resulted in the apprehension of the two terrorists in Poonch.
The operation dealt a significant blow to the terror nexus, as arms, ammunition, and grenades were recovered from the suspects. The arrested individuals were involved in various terror activities, including grenade attacks on religious sites and hospitals, terror financing, propaganda, and arms smuggling.
In a separate incident on Friday, security forces apprehended a terror-linked individual in the Dundak area of the Surankote Sector in Poonch district. Four grenades were recovered from the suspect, and the arrest is expected to provide crucial insights into recent terror incidents in the frontier district.
