Srinagar Police Foil Terror Bid, Three Individuals Arrested with Arms, Ammunition
SRINAGAR (KIMS) — In a major success against anti-national activities, Srinagar Police on Thursday foiled a terror attempt by arresting three individuals and recovering arms and ammunition from their possession, thereby averting a potential attack.
Police said a team from Police Station Khanyar intercepted a black Royal Enfield motorcycle without a registration number during a routine vehicle checking near Mamta Chowk, Konakhan area of Dalgate.
“On being signalled to stop, the rider and two pillion passengers attempted to flee but were swiftly apprehended by alert personnel on duty,” police said.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Shah Mutayib, son of Manzoor Ahmad Shah, resident of Koolipora Khanyar; Kamran Hassan Shah, son of Ghulam Hassan Shah, resident of Koolipora Khanyar; and Mohammad Nadeem, son of Mohammad Yaseen Salmani, resident of Meerut (U.P.), presently residing at Kawa Mohalla, Khanyar.
A search of their possession led to the recovery of one country-made pistol (Desi Katta) and nine live rounds, police said.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the accused were planning to carry out a terror-related act in the locality using the recovered weapon and ammunition.
Police said that an FIR No. 51/2025 has been registered at Police Station Khanyar under sections 3, 7, 25 Arms Act, 20, 23 UAPA, and relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act.
“Further investigation is in progress to identify their associates, network, and possible links with other subversive elements,” police added. — (KIMS)
