Riyaz, a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist arrested on the tip-off provided by Jammu and Kashmir police, has been identified as a key figure wanted in an arms and drugs smuggling case. Baramulla police had been in pursuit of Riyaz, who had evaded capture after his four associates were arrested in recent months.
Investigations have revealed that Riyaz facilitated the smuggling of about four consignments of weapons and drugs from across the border. He was operating under the command of wanted terrorist Shakoor, a Lashkar handler believed to be residing in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Riyaz’s arrest marks a significant breakthrough in the ongoing efforts to dismantle terror networks operating in the region. The collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies have played a crucial role in apprehending individuals involved in nefarious activities that threaten peace and stability in Jammu and Kashmir.
