The Jammu and Kashmir police claimed to have busted a terror module that was being coordinated from Europe and arrested two of its members involved in ferrying weapons and explosives being dropped by drones coming from Pakistan's side in Jammu.

An investigation into the dropping of weapons by drones in the Baspur Bangla area along the International Border (IB) in R S Pura led to Chander Bose of Doda and Shamsher Singh of Camp Gole Gujral, Jammu.

According to Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Mukesh Singh, during interrogation, Bose revealed that he was working at the behest of Singh.

According to reports, police have recovered a consignment of weapons dropped from a drone along the International Border (IB) in RS Pura Sector and arrested two people.

It is said that the consignment comprised four pistols, eight magazines and 47 rounds.

This happens to be the fourth drone-dropped consignment seized by the Jammu Police this year.

In the words of ADGP, “On the intervening night of October 27 and 28, suspicious movement of a drone was observed in the general area of Baspur Bangla area in R S Pura. Since it is close to the border fence, all police stations and a dedicated officer-led team were put on the job”.

Based on technical surveillance and analysis, two suspects were detained. During questioning, one of them named Chander Bose admitted to have visited the spot during the drone movement to collect the consignment.

Bose also disclosed that he was working at the behest of a person named Shamsher Singh of Gole Gujral camp here, according to the ADGP.

He continued to say that, “Both were in touch with an overground worker (OGW) named Balvinder, hailing from Jammu and currently residing in Europe”.

He adds that, “The arrested men and the OGW work for a banned terrorist organization. Balvinder was coordinating with the accused in India and the handlers of the consignment in Pakistan”.

A case has been registered.
