NEW DELHI:The Jammu and Kashmir Police have neutralised three foreign terrorists in Gandoh and uncovered a terrorist module responsible for recent infiltration and increased activities in the upper reaches of Doda, Udhampur, and Kathua. This module is believed to be the primary group behind the recent escalation of terrorist movements in the region, according to the J&K Police.
The kingpin of the module has been identified as Mohd Lateef, alias Haji Lateef, with eight other members taken into custody as enemy agents, including Akhter Ali, Saddam, Kushal, Noorani, Maqbool, Liaquat, Kasim Din, and Khadim, according to the J&K Police.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the module’s network to prevent further infiltration and ensure the safety and security of the area.
The J&K Police said that, “the kingpins, in active collusion with terrorist handlers across the border, played a crucial role in receiving the foreign terrorists after their illegal and surreptitious entry into India via the Samba-Kathua sector. The module provided initial shelter, food, and minor logistics, guiding them to the upper reaches of the mountains and jungles around the Kailash mountain, a tri-junction of the Udhampur, Kathua, and Doda districts.”
According to J&K Police, members of the module confirmed that the three terrorists killed in the Gandoh encounter had utilised the module’s help to hide and travel undetected until they reached the upper reaches.
