The militants had reportedly picked up the truck at Amritsar District in Punjab. The arrested militants were identified as Ubaid-ul-Islam, son of Ghulam Mohammad Shah, a resident of Aglar Kandi, Rajpora in Pulwama; Jahangir Ahmed Parrey, son of Mohammad Abdul Parrey R/o Pakherpora, Charar-e-Sharief, Budgam; and Sabeel Ahmed Baba, son of Ghulam Hassan Baba, a resident of Aglar Kandi Rajpora, Pulwama. Senior Superintendent of Police, Kathua, Shridhar Patil said that Lakhanpur police parties, which were maintaining high alert on the National Highway, intercepted the truck and subjected it to searches. “During the search operation, we arrested three militants and seized six assault rifles including four AK-56, two AK-47, six magazines, 180 live rounds and Rs 11,000 cash, which had been concealed deep inside the empty cartons of apples,” Patil said. “Investigations have revealed that the militants were transporting the arms consignment from Punjab to Kashmir,” he said. Though the truck had to cross from different parts of Jammu region, including border districts of Kathua, Samba and Jammu before taking Jammu-Srinagar National Highway to reach Pulwama in South Kashmir, sources said that the militants had no plan to strike in Jammu region and were on way to the Valley, where they had to deliver consignment to JeM militants.

The Security Forces (SFs) busted a militant hideout and recovered huge quantity of incriminating material at Brath in Sopore in Baramulla District in Jammu and Kashmir on November 4, reports Daily Excelsior. NDTV adds that the hideout was an underground bunker used as a training centre for terrorists. According to sources, the arrest of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Tariq Channa led SFs to the hideout located at an orchard in Brath. An underground shelter measuring 17 feet in length and six feet in width, it was tailor-made to train terrorists in handling explosives. "It's a concrete bunker. We recovered ammunition, among other items, upon raiding the place," an unnamed senior police officer said. According to the officer, the LeT operatives would use the shelter to hide from SFs as well. "There is a lot of pressure on terrorists and nobody is supporting them in villages anymore," he claimed, citing how people no longer turn up in large numbers at their funerals. Tariq Channa had been hiding in the underground shelter with two others for many weeks until his arrest on November 2. A probe revealed that the orchard belonged to the maternal uncle of another LeT terrorist, Sajad Haider. Police described Sajad Haider as a high-level terrorist responsible for holding recruitment drives in South Kashmir. "This is where he used to train new recruits before sending them off to join the ranks of terrorists," an unnamed officer said. "There was a lot of support for terrorists in 2017, when they would even make hartal calls from mosques. Public support was visible on the streets in 2018 too, but it was diminished. The support's there even now, but it's more tacit than overt," another unnamed police officer said.
