Rajouri Police arrested three individuals—Zakir Hussain, Mohammad Azam, and Mohammad Mushtaq—linked to an Over Ground Worker (OGW) network supporting Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pir Panjal region. The accused allegedly provided logistical support, safe transit, and guidance to terrorist groups, facilitating their movement toward the Kashmir Valley. Authorities recovered an improvised explosive device (IED) during the investigation, reportedly handed over to the accused for safekeeping and potential use in attacks. The probe into the wider terror network is ongoing.
