In Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district, security forces on Wednesday arrested ten overground workers (OGWs) associated with Pak terror groups, police said.

The large-scale crackdown, jointly carried out by the police and CRPF, targeted 17 locations across Malhar, Bani, and the upper reaches of Billawar, as well as border areas including Kana Chack, Haria Chack, Spral Pain, and Chack Wajir Lahbju. According to a police spokesperson, the operation focused on uncovering networks providing logistical and financial assistance to terrorists operating in the region.

The raids were conducted as part of investigations into three separate FIRs linked to terror-related incidents registered at police stations in Malhar, Billawar, and Bani. These meticulously planned operations led to the identification and subsequent arrest of 10 individuals, who are suspected of being OGWs or linked to terror activities.

This comes shortly after security forces eliminated three foreign terrorists affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in two encounters in the upper reaches of Kathua district and its fringe area with Basantgarh in Udhampur district. The killings dealt a serious blow to terror groups, which have intensified their activities in the region this year.

Over the past few days, police in the Jammu region have ramped up their crackdown on terror networks associated with JeM and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), conducting over 56 raids across districts including Rajouri, Poonch, Udhampur, and Reasi. These operations resulted in the arrest of several OGWs and terror suspects, as well as the recovery of incriminating materials such as electronic devices, documents, unaccounted cash, weapons, and ammunition.
