In a coordinated operation on Tuesday, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir arrested three individuals suspected of terrorist activities. The operation, which took place in Anantnag, involved a joint effort by local police, the Army, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
During the operation, authorities recovered a significant cache of arms and ammunition. The items seized include one pistol, two pistol magazines, 23 rounds of ammunition, and two grenades.

The investigation is ongoing, with further inquiries being conducted to determine the full extent of the planned activities and affiliations of the suspects.
Terror associate of LeT, TRF outfit arrested in Baramulla
Earlier in July this year, Jammu and Kashmir Police, along with Army 46 RR, arrested a terror associate linked with proscribed terror outfit LeT/TRF and recovered incriminating materials, arms, and ammunition from his possession at Eco Park crossing in Baramulla. Acting on a specific input about terrorist movement in the Eco Park Crossing area, a joint patrol was conducted by Baramulla Police and Army 46 RR. During the patrol, a suspicious person was observed approaching the team on foot. When the suspect saw the police and security forces, he attempted to flee but was swiftly apprehended by the alert patrol team.
