Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 21: Ten months after filing a chargesheet in the infamous drone arms drop case of Kathua, the National Investigation Agency arrested the eighth terrorist involved in collecting and smuggling ammunition dropped by a Pakistani hexacopter near the International Border.
The NIA arrested another terrorist involved in the Pak-backed terrorism case involving the delivery of weapons through drones to terrorists active in Kashmir.
The arrested terrorist has been identified as 22-year-old Zakir Hussain of district Kathua. He is the 8th accused to be arrested in the case (RC-06/2022/NIA/JMU), registered by the NIA on 30th July 2022 after taking over the case from Kathua Police. One of the seven accused arrested earlier had died due to cardiac arrest while in judicial custody while two Pakistan-based terror operatives are absconding.
Earlier in January this year, NIA filed a chargesheet in the case pertaining to the interception of drone and recovery of drone and rounds of UBGL and Magnetic Bombs from near the Dhalli area under the jurisdiction of PS Rajbagh, District Kathua.
The case was initially registered as FIR No. 114/2022 dated 29.05.2022 at PS Rajbagh, Kathua, and re-registered by NIA on 30.07.2022.
The spokesman said investigations revealed that on directions of the Pakistan-based terrorist Sajjad Gul the arrested terrorists used to collect, receive, and transport the weapons, dropped over drones, to the terrorists active in Kashmir for the commission of terror activities in J&K, as part of the conspiracy of wage war against the Government of India. |
