Baramulla: Based on specific reliable inputs regarding movement of two terrorists in a vehicle towards Srinagar, on 26 April, joint MVCPs of 29 RR, JKP & 2 SSB were placed at various spots along the national highway and surrounding bylanes.
A speeding Tavera swerving in a suspicious manner was signaled to stop in Hanjiveera Bala area, however the vehicle stopped abruptly and two individuals (driver & co-driver) jumped off the vehicle and fled towards nearby wooded orchard area.
Joint parties gave chase to the two and the escape route cut offs were also activated who succeeded in nabbing the duo.
The detained individuals were identified as;
Mohd. Aqib Mir @ Kian Mir @ Raqib Mir
S/o Mohd. Ramzan Mir
R/O Batpora, Sopore
Danish Ahad Dar
S/O Abdul Ahad Dar
R/O Sopore
The seizure and search of the vehicle led to the recovery of incriminating materials including 2 Chinese pistols, 2 pistol magazines, ammunition 10 rounds and 2 Chinese grenades.
So far in the investigation, it has transpired that the duo belong to JeM hybrid module and were looking for targeting of PRIs and minority / outsiders.
The successful apprehension of the terrorists has foiled major terror plots and busted a module that was aiding the execution of various terror attacks including the killing of sarpanches etc.
