The Jammu and Kashmir police have successfully uncovered an inter-state module of the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), leading to the arrest of five individuals, including two Pakistani nationals and three local associates. The operation, which lasted over two weeks, was executed with the collaboration of central agencies and involved multiple states, including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir. Key arrests included Abu Huraira, a prominent Lashkar commander who had infiltrated the Kashmir Valley in 2010 and later established a base in Punjab. The police operation was driven by human intelligence and technical surveillance, which led to the identification of the militant hideout. The arrested individuals are believed to have facilitated the entry of over 40 militants into Jammu and Kashmir, sustaining the ongoing militancy in the region. Authorities are investigating potential links to forged travel documents and expect more arrests as they delve deeper into the module's operations.
