During the search operation, the security personnel recovered three hand grenades, explosive items and other incriminating material from the accused.

Preliminary investigation suggested that the accused, identified as Mohammed Shabir, was in touch with his Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) - based handler Azim Khan, who directed him to collect the arms from Surankot.

Shabir was arrested by the police after seizing the arms and further investigation into the case was launched.

In July this year, the Jammu and Kashmir Police also arrested two overground workers of the Pakistan-based terror group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, who were allegedly linked to the terror attack on Army vehicles in Kathua which claimed the lives of five soldiers and injured five others.

Similarly, in May this year, in a joint operation, the Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police arrested a terrorist associate and recovered a cache of arms and ammunition from northern Kashmir’s Bandipora district.
