Yesterday, police launched a major crackdown on terrorist networks linked to the banned organizations Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in the Jammu region.
The operation involved 56 raids and searches across four districts, resulting in the arrest of multiple Over Ground Workers (OGWs) and terror suspects. Police also seized a variety of incriminating items, including electronic devices, documents, cash, weapons, and ammunition.
A police spokesperson had stated that the objective of the operation was to identify, track, and apprehend OGWs and terror suspects who provide logistical support, recruitment assistance, and facilitate the movement of arms, ammunition, and funds for terrorist outfits.
The Jammu Police has called on citizens to report any suspicious activity or individuals in their areas and urged them to cooperate with security forces to strengthen collective efforts against terrorism.
