Srinagar, Nove 10 (KINS): In a major counter-terrorism success, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said that it has busted an inter-state and transnational terror module linked with the proscribed terrorist organizations Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH). The operation led to the arrest of several key operatives and the recovery of a large cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives during coordinated searches across J&K and other states.
“The case originated on October 19, 2025, when multiple JeM threat posters were found pasted at different locations in Bunpora, Nowgam (Srinagar), intimidating Police and security forces. Following this, FIR No. 162/2025 under relevant sections of the UAPA Act, BNS, Explosive Substances Act, and Arms Act was registered at Police Station Nowgam, and a detailed investigation was initiated”.
The probe revealed the existence of a white-collar terror ecosystem involving radicalized professionals and students in contact with foreign handlers based in Pakistan and other countries. The group reportedly used encrypted communication channels for indoctrination, coordination, fund movement, and logistics. Funds were raised through professional and academic networks under the guise of social and charitable activities”.
