Calls for Heightened Vigil And Coordination
Srinagar: The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha chaired a high-level review meeting on security scenario in Jammu Kashmir in Raj Bhawan, Srinagar today.
He has directed all concerned officials to maintain constant vigil and security and emphasised on seamless coordination amongst the J&K Police, Intelligence and security agencies.
Pertinently, in one of the most shocking counter-terror revelations in recent years, the Jammu and Kashmir Police in coordination with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Police recently unearthed a massive terror network allegedly masterminded and operated by doctors working across the country.
Two Kashmiri doctors identified as Dr. Aadil Ahmad Rather and Dr. Muzammil Shakeel were apprehended in separate operations in Saharanpur and Faridabad. Later, a woman doctor from Lucknow, Dr Shaheen Shahid, was also detained after her car was found used in the transport of arms and ammunition.
Police said that Dr Shakeel’s aide, Dr Umar Mohammad of Pulwama, is suspected of carrying out a fidayeen (suicide) attack in a Hyundai I20 near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort, which killed eight people, hours after the terror module was busted.
After the arrests police carried out massive searches across multiple districts and recovered two pistols (Chinese Star and Beretta models), an AK-56 rifle, an AK Krinkov rifle, and approximately 2,900 kilograms of IED-making material, including explosives, chemicals, electronic circuits, remotes, and metal sheets—( with inputs from KNO)
