In a significant counter-terrorism operation, Jammu and Kashmir Police have successfully dismantled a dangerous narco-terror module with established connections to the banned terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET). The breakthrough came with the arrest of a key handler who played a crucial role in the illicit network.
The operation revealed a sophisticated network where drug trafficking proceeds were being systematically channeled to fund terrorist activities in the region. Intelligence sources indicate this module was actively involved in cross-border narcotics trade with direct instructions from LET handlers based in Pakistan.
Modus Operandi Uncovered
Investigators have uncovered that the arrested individual was responsible for multiple critical functions within the terror network:
- Coordinating drug shipments across the border
- Managing financial transactions between narcotics and terror funding
- Acting as a liaison between local operatives and international terror handlers
- Distributing funds to active terror cells in the valley
Evidence and Seizures
During the operation, security forces recovered substantial evidence including:
Digital communications establishing direct links with LET commanders, financial records detailing the money trail, and documentation of drug consignments. The investigation has exposed how narcotics trade has become the primary funding mechanism for sustaining terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
Broader Security Implications
This arrest marks another successful intervention by security forces in disrupting the narco-terror nexus that has been threatening regional stability. The operation demonstrates the evolving nature of counter-terrorism efforts as security agencies adapt to new funding methods employed by terrorist organizations.
Police officials have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected as they continue to unravel the complete network of this sophisticated narco-terror operation.
