In a significant breakthrough, Jammu and Kashmir Police have detained four individuals believed to be connected to a terror module responsible for the recent low-intensity blast in Delhi. The arrests come after intensive investigations into the December 14th incident that occurred near the Israeli Embassy.
Major Terror Module Busted in Valley
The detained individuals have been identified as Sohail, Zaffar, and Momin from Pulwama district, along with Aabid from Shopian. According to police sources, these arrests are directly linked to the terror module that orchestrated the Delhi explosion, marking a crucial development in the ongoing counter-terrorism operations.
Investigations have revealed that the module was operating under the guidance of a Pakistan-based handler known by the alias 'Hamza'. The handler allegedly provided instructions and support through encrypted communication channels, making the investigation particularly challenging for security agencies.
IED Recovery and Technical Evidence
During the operation, security forces recovered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) weighing approximately 1.5 kilograms from the possession of the detained individuals. The recovery of this explosive material has potentially averted a major tragedy in the region.
Technical analysis of digital evidence has played a crucial role in cracking the case. Police have gathered substantial technical data that establishes clear connections between the detained individuals and the Delhi blast incident. The evidence suggests sophisticated planning and coordination between local operatives and their international handlers.
Ongoing Investigation and Security Implications
The investigation continues to unfold as authorities work to identify all individuals involved in the terror network. Police officials have confirmed that more arrests are expected in the coming days as they piece together the complete picture of the module's operations and connections.
This development highlights the persistent threat of cross-border terrorism and the sophisticated methods employed by terror networks. The successful operation by Jammu and Kashmir Police demonstrates the effectiveness of coordinated intelligence efforts in combating terrorism.
Security agencies have heightened vigilance across the region following these arrests, with particular focus on preventing any retaliatory actions by remaining members of the terror network. The public has been urged to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to authorities immediately.
The case has drawn attention from multiple security agencies, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) likely to take over the probe given its interstate implications and connections to international terror networks.
