Police on June 12 arrested two suspects, Mansoor Ahmad Bhat
and Moinul
Haq Lone,
for providing
SIM cards
to the Lashkar-e-Toiba
(LeT)
militants
in Sopore
area of
Baramulla
District,
according
to Daily
Excelsior.
The duo
was working
for a cellular
operator
company
in Sopore.
They have
been procuring
SIM cards
on forged
documents
and providing
them to
the militants
of LeT operating
in and around
Sopore.
Police said
that they
used to
sell these
SIM cards
at exorbitant
rates, as
high as
INR 700
per SIM
card. "So
far, six
SIM cards
have been
detected
that have
been procured
illegally
and provided
to the LeT",
Police added.
Meanwhile, Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra said
that because
of Security
Forces vigil,
there is
zero infiltration
this year
[2012] on
the Line
of Control
(LoC) and
International
Border (IB).
"A
number of
infiltration
attempts
have been
made on
both LoC
and IB in
Jammu region
but all
of them
have been
successfully
foiled by
the security
forces.
This has
delivered
a major
setback
to few remaining
militants,
who were
finding
it hard
to survive
in the absence
of fresh
arrival
of militants
from across
the border
and lack
of arms
and ammunition’’,
he said.
