Srinagar 21 April (KNB): Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday claimed to have arrested two Over Ground Workers (OGWs) of The Resistance Front (TRF) militant outfit in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district.
In a statement, a copy of which lies with news agency– Kashmir News Bureau–police said that acting on a credible lead that some individuals were involved in aiding and abetting militants, the input was jointly developed by Bandipora Police, 14RR and 3Bn CRPF leading to the uncovering of a militant module of the TRF Organisation.
“After thorough investigation and technical analysis, two OGWs of TRF namely Mushtaq Ahmad Parray son of Bashir Ahmad Parray resident of Gundpora Rampora and Sajad Ahmad Sofi son of Ghulam Mohammad Sofi resident of Sofigund Tral were found to be involved in militant activities as well as actively harbouring and providing shelter and logistics to TRF militants,” officials said.
They said that the OGWs were also found to be evoking the emotions of gullible youth and motivating them to join militant ranks.
“The OGWs have been arrested and incriminating material has been recovered from them,” officials added.
Furthermore, officials said that in this regard, a case under the relevant provisions of law has been registered in Police Station Aragam and further investigation is underway. (KNB)
