Srinagar: Security forces on Saturday achieved a significant breakthrough in Srinagar, dismantling the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror module by arresting four associates linked to the banned outfit. The operation, based on precise intelligence, led to the seizure of a huge cache of weapons, which is an important step in the counter-terrorism efforts in the region.
Acting on specific intelligence, a joint operation involving Srinagar Police and security forces was launched.

Those arrested were identified as Mohammad Yasin Bhat, Sheraz Ahmed Rather, Ghulam Hasan Khandey and Imtiaz Ahmed Bhat. Their apprehension has dealt a major blow to Jaish-e-Mohammed’s operational capabilities in the region.
