Terrorist Suspects Arrested in Tral, Seizure of Weapons and Explosives

In a significant development, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been actively dismantling terror networks in Jammu and Kashmir, as evidenced by the recent coordinated raids at 32 locations across the region. These operations targeted Overground Workers (OGWs) associated with various banned terrorist outfits, including Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), with the aim of disrupting terror infrastructure and preventing radicalization of local youth[1][2].

During these operations, authorities seized incriminating materials and evidence from premises linked to hybrid terrorists and sympathizers. The ongoing investigations are part of broader efforts to curb threats posed by these outfits and maintain peace in the region[1][2]. However, specific updates on arrests in Tral and Awantipora might not be explicitly mentioned in the recent reports.

Meanwhile, the Anantnag Police have taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of pilgrims during the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2025. This includes the installation of high-resolution Facial Recognition System (FRS) cameras along the Pahalgam-to-cave route. The FRS played a crucial role in maintaining public safety during the Yatra, as it helped in the successful identification and detention of a suspected Over Ground Worker (OGW) affiliated with a terrorist outfit[3].

The arrested individual, Umer Mohi-ud-Din Bhat, son of Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din, resident of Nader Tral, was taken into custody by the Anantnag Police[4]. Recovered items from the arrest include two hand grenades, 59 live rounds of AK-47, and one AK-47 magazine[5]. A detailed investigation is currently underway to ascertain the OGW's links and potential threats.

Separately, the police, Indian Army (42 RR), and CRPF (180 Bn) arrested two individuals at a checkpoint in Wagad village. The flagged individual was identified as an Over Ground Worker (OGW) affiliated with a terrorist outfit[6]. The case involving the arrested individuals in Wagad village (FIR NO. 86/2025) is separate from the OGW's case. Both arrested individuals are accused of providing logistics support and transportation of arms and ammunition to the active terrorists of the proscribed terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in Tral and Awantipora areas of district Pulwama[7].

As the investigations continue, it is advisable to look for updates from local news sources or official statements from the NIA or Jammu and Kashmir authorities for more detailed insights into these developments. The public is reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the local authorities.
