Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Police have arrested two associates of terrorist outfits in Udhampur and Doda districts.
A police spokesman here on Friday said that acting tough against terror supporters, police have detained and lodged in jail a hardcore terror associate under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act (PSA) in the Udhampur district.
The accused has been identified as Abdul Satar, a resident of Ponara Soni, who has been involved in multiple terror cases and was working as an active guide and facilitator for terrorist organisations till his arrest.
Several FIRs were registered against him in Police Station Basantgarh, and keeping in view the activities of the accused, he was detained under the Public Safety Act.
Meanwhile, police have also arrested another hardcore terror associate identified as Firdous Ahmed Wani, a resident of Mangota Marmat, presently residing in Dandi, Bhaderwah, district Doda.
Senior Superintendent of Police, Doda, Sandeep Mehta, revealed that the accused was in constant contact with terrorist handlers across the border through various social media platforms and was actively working to revive militancy in the area by establishing a foothold for anti-national elements in Doda.
“A thorough search of the suspect and his residence led to the recovery of incriminating materials and documents, which have been seized for further investigation,” said the SSP, adding that cases under relevant sections have been registered against him.
The accused was reportedly conspiring to execute subversive activities in and around Doda, in collaboration with active terrorists and handlers operating from Pakistan and the Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, he said, adding, “The operation reflects the unwavering commitment of Doda Police to thwart any attempts to disrupt the region’s peace and harmony.”
