Intensifying offensive against terrorists operating from different parts of Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday raided the houses of five local terrorists in Doda district.
These terrorists are presently operating from across the border and making desperate attempts to revive terrorism in the Chenab region comprising the Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban districts of Jammu province.
Senior Superintendent of Police of Doda district Abdul Qayoom said the raids were conducted by the SIU in the Gandoh area in connection with a case registered against the five terrorists in 2021 under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The officer said the searches would help gather evidence and identify their supporters and sympathizers who are working as overground workers.
The terrorists whose houses were searched were Atta Mohammad alias Adil Mubassir of Tanta Kahara, Mohammad Yasir alias Shahid of Kunthal-Tanta, Mohammad Shafi alias Nadeem Bhai and Amjid Ali alias Rashid of Trinkal Kahara, and Majid Hussain alias Abu Zahid Saqib of Manoie Chilli Pingal.
These terrorists managed to cross LoC in early 1990.
Reports said that all these local terrorists managed to cross the Line of Control (LoC) in early 1990 when terrorism was at its peak in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. These terrorists are presently operating from Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). While sitting across the border, these terrorists are trying to revive terrorism by contacting the local youth through different apps of social media.
