Security apparatus in Jammu and Kashmir delivered a body blow to the banned Jammu and Kashmir Ittihadul Muslimeen through meticulously planned raids in Baramulla. The outfit’s suspected operational hubs were raided, yielding vital evidence of illicit activities.
The multi-agency drive, informed by actionable intel, focused on three key locations in the district’s sensitive zones. Forces seized AK rifles, grenades, and IED components, alongside laptops containing encrypted files.
Baramulla’s proximity to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir makes it a prime target for infiltrators, and this operation effectively neutralized immediate threats. Detained individuals are being grilled to unravel funding trails and recruit networks.
The raids reflect a broader strategy of proactive intelligence-led operations, reducing the terror footprint significantly since the abrogation of Article 370.
Civilians in the area reported a sense of relief, with many volunteering tips on suspicious movements. Government spokespersons reiterated that peace and progress go hand in hand, promising more such assertive measures.
As the probe unfolds, it could lead to arrests across the Valley, sending a strong message to terror sympathizers.
