The NIA had registered the case (RC-04/2024/NIA/JMU) on directions from Ministry of Home Affairs, on October 24th based on information regarding the infiltration of active terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed into Indian Territory through the international Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC).
These infiltrations were facilitated by OGWs and other terror associates based in villages in the Jammu region, who were engaged in providing logistical support, food, shelter, and money to the terrorists. Further investigation is under way.
The anti-terror agency had conducted similar searches in November last year in connection with the case and seized various incriminating documents from the premises of the suspects. (ANI)
