A ‘terror funding and recruitment module’ in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district was busted by Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara police on Thursday. Five persons were arrested in the terror funding module along with the arms that were involved in the planning to carry out further attacks. “A huge quantity of arms, ammunition, raw material to prepare IEDs and incriminating material have been recovered from all the apprehended individuals. We also recovered five pistols, ten Magazines, 49 pistol ammunition, two grenades and one IED. It is a big success” said police.
According to the police, after receiving the inputs , Army and Kupwara police launched a joint operation to arrest the Bilal Ahmed Dar of the Cheerkote area of Kupwara district. “We interrogated Bilal and found he, along with five others, from parts of North Kashmir were running a terror funding racket under a fake NGO namely ‘Islahi Falahi Relief Trust’ (IFRT) which claimed to provide monetary assistance to poor and needy families. Bilal was actively involved in coordinating the funding for terror activities and aiding recruitment by organising ‘Ijtema’ meetings in different villages. He and other members of the NGO would try and lure young people into anti-national activities,” SSP Kupwara told reporters during a press conference.”
The SSP further said that the ‘Tehreek-e-ul Mujahideen Jammu & Kashmir’ (TuMJK) operation in North Kashmir was planning an attack to be carried out with the support of the handlers based in Pakistan. After investigation and rigorous interrogation, Dar revealed that under the name of fake NGO called “Islahi Falahi Relief Trust” which apparently used to provide financial assistance to poor and needy families, they were running a terror module with the help of five other people from different parts of Kashmir.
“The accounts in the NGO’s name were being used to launder money for the TuMJK. The group was also actively collecting explosive materials known to be used in IEDs,” said police.
