A terror associate with direct ties to Pakistan was arrested in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district.

The arrest by police and Rashtriya Rifles exposes a terror module, triggering further investigation and a search operation in related regions.

A terror associate with direct connections to handlers based in Pakistan has been captured in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, authorities confirmed on Thursday.

Sachin Kumar, known as Pamma, was detained during a joint operation involving the police and Rashtriya Rifles in a forward village in the Nowshera sector. Preliminary investigations suggest Kumar was in contact with Pakistan-based narco-terror operatives.

The operation led to the discovery of two foreign-made pistols, four magazines, and 15 rounds of ammunition, resulting in the dismantling of a terror module. Further probes aim to identify the intended weapon recipients and unveil more details about the cross-border terror network.
