India Designates 23 Pakistan-Based JeM and LeT Operatives as Terrorists Under UAPA
The Indian government has designated 23 Pakistan-based individuals linked to terror groups Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as terrorists under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). These individuals are accused of involvement in recruitment, training, infiltration, arms supply—including drone-based delivery—and planning attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, including the 2016 Nagrota and 2022 Sunjwan attacks. The designations enable agencies like the National Investigation Agency to block finances and seize assets, reflecting India's ongoing efforts to counter cross-border terrorism.
