In a significant counter-terrorism operation, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has dismantled a sophisticated white-collar terror module linked to the banned terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). What initially appeared to be routine terror propaganda investigation turned into a major security breakthrough with national implications.
From Routine Investigation to Major Breakthrough
The investigation began as what security officials described as a standard probe into terror propaganda materials. However, as detectives dug deeper, they uncovered a far more complex and dangerous network operating under the guise of legitimate business operations.
The module was found to be operating from Faridabad in the National Capital Region (NCR), demonstrating the extensive reach of terrorist networks beyond traditional conflict zones. This discovery highlights the evolving nature of terror operations in India, where urban centers are increasingly becoming hubs for coordinated activities.
Network Spanning Kashmir to Delhi-NCR
Investigators revealed that the terror network had established connections stretching from the Kashmir Valley to the National Capital Region and beyond. This geographical spread indicates a highly organized operation with multiple layers of coordination and communication.
The operation exposed how terrorist groups are adapting their strategies by recruiting educated, white-collar professionals who can operate without raising suspicion. These individuals use their professional credentials and social standing to facilitate terror-related activities while maintaining a facade of normalcy.
White-Collar Terror: A New Challenge
The term 'white-collar terror' refers to the involvement of educated, professionally qualified individuals in terror-related activities. Unlike traditional terror operatives, these individuals blend seamlessly into urban society, making them particularly difficult to detect.
Security agencies have noted this emerging trend where terror groups are increasingly recruiting people with technical skills and professional backgrounds. These individuals can handle sophisticated communication, financial transactions, and logistical planning that traditional operatives might struggle with.
The busting of this module represents a significant achievement for the Jammu and Kashmir Police, coming after months of coordinated intelligence gathering and surveillance operations. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify all individuals connected to this network and understand the full scope of their operations.
The breakthrough occurred on November 10, 2025, according to official records, though the operation had been underway for several months prior. Security experts have praised the operation as demonstrating improved inter-agency coordination and intelligence-sharing mechanisms.
