Terror Unmasked in J&K: NIA Arrests Jaish-e-Mohammad Operative Involved in Explosive Conspiracy

On Sunday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the primary anti-terror investigation task force of the country, made an arrest pertaining to a terror conspiracy case in Jammu and Kashmir.

Mohammad Ubaid Malik of Kupwara, the individual apprehended is an operative associated with the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad. According to the information received, he was found to be in regular communication with a commander from Jaish-e-Mohammad. Not only that but it is also alleged that he was involved in sharing confidential information, particularly regarding the movements of troops and security forces, which indicates a serious breach of security. Moreover, he also indulged in terror activities in the Kashmir Valley by facilitating and supporting acts of terrorism against the sovereignty of the nation, proof of which has been uncovered by the probe agency during the investigation, in the form of various incriminating documents.

This arrest is a part of the NIA's ongoing crackdown in Kashmir, which began last year on June 21 when the NIA took up a case suo moto involving both cadre and over-ground workers associated with several proscribed terror outfits for devising conspiracies in connection with their handlers across the border. An NIA official informed, “It involves collection and distribution of huge consignments of narcotics, cash, weapons, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including remote control-operated sticky/magnetic bombs.” After the investigation, the NIA concluded that the IEDs and explosives are being transported using drones and are also being locally assembled to carry out terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The official further stated that the attacks were mainly aimed at minorities as well as security forces personnel.

These conspiracies, aimed at disrupting peace and communal harmony as well as threatening national security, are being devised secretly through physical meetings as well as in cyberspace, specifically using encrypted social media applications.
