NIA takes over inter-state LeT module probe; five terrorists arrested in Jammu

The National Investigation Agency has taken over the investigation into an interstate terror module linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. The case began following a counter-terror operation by the Jammu and Kashmir Police, which led to the arrest of five operatives. Authorities stated that the network was allegedly involved in providing logistical and financial support to terrorists.

Among those arrested were two Pakistani nationals and three residents of Srinagar. One of the arrested Pakistani individuals had allegedly been on the run for sixteen years and is believed to have established bases outside the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

After taking over the case, the investigating agency produced the five accused before a special court in Jammu. The court granted custody of the suspects to the agency for questioning and further investigation into the network's broader links.
