The Jammu and Kashmir Police has arrested two terrorists affiliated with ‘The Resistance Force’ (TRF) and seized arms and ammunition from their possession. Police have recovered one AK series rifle, one pistol, two magazines of AK series, 60 AK-rounds and 15 pistol rounds.

According to a statement, Raees Ahmad Dar of Churath, Qazigund, and Subzar Ahmad Sheikh of Ashmuji, Kulgam, were on their way to Srinagar in a car when they were intercepted and arrested by the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the local police at the Narwal bypass on Friday evening.

The SOG had set up a special checkpoint in the area after getting a reliable input regarding the movement of terrorists with automatic weapons. “At about 5.30 pm (Friday) when the SOG team was conducting vehicle checking in the area, one Alto car tried to escape the checkpoint. Observing the suspicious movement, the SOG team immediately chased the vehicle and apprehended the two suspects along with a bag,” a police spokesperson said.
