Four Overground Workers Arrested in Srinagar for Alleged Terror Support

Police in Srinagar arrested four overground workers (OGWs), including a woman, from the Hazratbal area for allegedly providing logistical support to terrorists linked to the Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Authorities recovered a hand grenade, 15 AK-47 rounds, mobile phones, and cash. The arrests followed intelligence-based operations and are connected to disclosures from two Pakistani terrorists detained earlier in Punjab. Cases have been registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Arms Act, with investigations ongoing.
