KATHUA; 25 JULY: In a significant breakthrough in our ongoing efforts to counter terrorist activities, Kathua Police at PS Malhar have arrested two Over Ground Workers (OGWs) for supporting terror-related activities. These individuals were also found to have purposefully withheld crucial information by not disclosing it to police in time, thereby obstructing efforts to prevent terrorist actions.
Over 100 individuals have been questioned in connection with this case, while preventive measures have been taken against more than 40 individuals to mitigate further risks and disrupt any potential support systems for terrorist activities. Through meticulous investigation, the two OGWs have been identified as:
1. Layaqat Ali @Pawu S/o Gammi R/o Ward No. 07, Kalna Dhanu Parole Tehsil Billawar District Kathua
2. Mool Raj @Jenju S/o Uttam Chand R/o Bowli Mohalla Malhar Tehsil Malhar District Kathua
Accordingly, a case FIR No. 18/2024 U/S 61(1), 113, 147, 150/ BNS 2/3 EIMCO Act has been registered at PS Malhar, and further investigation is ongoing.
The arrest of these OGWs is a testament to our resolve. We urge the public to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to their nearest Police Station or Dial 100 or 9858034100.
