Senior Superintendent of Police Jammu Chanden Kohli said, “During the intervening night of November 8–9, the police party of PS Trikuta Nagar was clearing the traffic on the National Highway.” During the said exercise, an oil tanker bearing registration number JK02BF 2965 stationed at Narwal was asked to move forward. The same truck pulled over near Environment Park once more.When the patrolling party of the concerned police station was again asked to move forward, the driver took a U-Turn and again stopped the truck at the initial point, i.e., Narwal. This time, while de-congesting the area, it was noticed that it was the same truck that was asked earlier to also move forward. On asking the same question, the driver, rather than giving a satisfactory answer, and two of his associates entered into a scuffle with the police party.
He further said, “On this, the driver along with two associates were taken to the police station, and an FIR no. 284 U/S 353 was registered in PS Bahu Fort. On this driver, Mohd. Yaseen S/O Mohd. Ismael R/O Puchil Pampora, Farhan Farooq S/O Farooq Ahmed R/O Drangbal Pampore, and Farooq Ahmed S/O Abdul Aziz Bhat R/O Drangbal Pampore were arrested. After the legal formalities, a signal was sent to the concerned police stations of the accused regarding their involvement in any other case so as to know their antecedents. On this, it came to our attention that the driver of the truck is involved in a ULAP case in Awantipore.” He is also a close associate of JeM, as per the report of the concerned police station. As a result, suspicion arose, and the police party began questioning about the reason for the unusual behaviour last night, as well as any affiliation with terrorists.
“After sustained interrogation, the driver Mohd Yaseen disclosed that they had come to Jammu to pick up weapons at the request of Shahbaaz, a handler of JeM who is in Pakistan and was asked to hand over to a terrorist in Valley,” Chanden Kohli added.
