Pakistan Terror Recruitment Module Busted in Indian Kashmir, Main Conspiracy Quashed

Indian forces busted a Pakistan-backed terror module in Kashmir recruiting youths for AuGH, arresting one suspect in contact with handlers across the border.

Indian security forces achieved a major breakthrough when they exposed Pakistan-backed terrorism in Kashmir as a terrorist recruitment module being run by the forbidden terror organization Ansar-ul-Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AuGH) across the border. A suspect has been apprehended and a conspiracy to revive a terrorist group and involve more Kashmiri youths in its cadre has also been thwarted.

As stated by the CIK in their statement on Thursday, they learned of the credible reports that it was the AUGH that was trying to open its base again in the Valley by the Pakistani handlers. Following these inputs, the CIK identified and arrested Waseem Ahmad Sheikh from Beerwah, a town in Kashmir’s Budgam district in the central part of the valley.

The first inspections showed that Sheikh was talking with Hamzah alias Gazi extensively via social media applications such as WhatsApp and Telegram. Gazi was keeping Sheikh under his close watch and hypnotizing him into believing that the only way to deliver justice to Kashmir was through terrorism and to recruit more Kashmiri youths.

Sheikh was one step away from joining the terrorist unit by forming a new team. He was further to identify youths, who can join the terrorist group under AuGH, the CIK statement read. It included that the Pakistani handler had also promised Sheikh the supply of arms and ammunition for this new terror group.

The arrest revealed that Sheikh was an active member of many WhatsApp and Telegram groups including some groups linked to terrorist organizations such as AuGH. The company's statement also disclosed that it "is continuing an extensive investigation to identify and take legal action against other members of such groups".

This fatal blow to the AuGH's wicked plans lays bare the fact that Pakistan is ready to use all its machinery to destabilize Kashmir by misleading the youths to terrorism. Nevertheless, the Indian security forces appear to be vigilant and determined to counter all the different theories and plots at their very inception.
