Srinagar, April 7 – Jammu and Kashmir Police announced on Tuesday that it had dismantled an interstate Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror module and arrested five terrorists, including two Pakistani nationals.
Officials stated on Tuesday that J&K Police teams conducted coordinated raids at 19 locations across various states in the country, including Haryana and Rajasthan.
"The operation led to the arrest of Abdullah, also known as Abu Hureira, an LeT operative who had been evading arrest for the past 16 years," officials said.
"Incriminating material linked to terrorist activities was recovered during the raids at various locations," they added.
The dismantling of the module has exposed a deep-rooted LeT network in India that was providing logistical support, financial assistance, and other aid to terrorists, officials further stated.
LeT has been the most wanted terror outfit in J&K, involved in most of the terror attacks carried out in the Union Territory.
The outfit comprises Pakistani handlers operating from across the border, Pakistani mercenaries, and locals recruited through indoctrination using religion, drugs, and money.
LeT carried out the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22 last year, in which 26 innocent people were killed, including 25 tourists and a local pony owner.
The attack prompted India to initiate "Operation Sindoor," during which the Indian armed forces targeted the terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
LeT terrorists also carried out a terror attack on civilian labourers working at the Z-Morh tunnel in the Gagangir area of the Ganderbal district on October 20, 2024.
Six non-local labourers and a local doctor were killed in that attack.
Joint forces, including the Indian Army and J&K Police, killed the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam and Gagangir attacks in an operation code-named "Operation Mahadev" in July 2025.
The LeT terrorists responsible for these terror attacks were killed near the Mahadev Peak, near the Dachigam National Park in the Srinagar district.
