Jammu, July 30 (PTI): An Over Ground Worker (OGW) associated with terrorist groups was apprehended in Jammu, and three pistols were seized during the operation. A new search operation has been launched after sightings of two suspicious individuals were reported in the Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials stated on Wednesday.
Police officials earned a breakthrough late Tuesday night, intercepting a private vehicle en route to Srinagar at TCP Nagrota. This stop led to the discovery of three pistols of varying origins, including models from China and Turkey, along with some ammunition.
The driver, identified as Azan Hamid from Srinagar, has been detained and is under interrogation to explore his connections to terror networks.
Officials indicate that the seized arms and ammunition were likely smuggled across the border and were intended for transport to Kashmir. The investigation continues, with expectations of further arrests and recoveries.
Simultaneously, security forces have initiated a search operation in Chabba Chak, Rampur, and surrounding locations within the Rajbagh sector of Kathua district. This follows a report of two individuals in black attire, carrying backpacks and moving near the Ujh river late on Tuesday night, believed to be terrorists. The operation is ongoing, with more details awaited.
