Kupwara: Jammu and Kashmir police arrested a terrorist associate in Kupwara on Thursday (April 7). 

SSP Kupwara said, "A joint team Police Station Sogam, along with 28 RR and 162 Bn CRPF has apprehended one terrorist associate from Gudmacher area of Lolab Kupwara."

The police identified the terrorist associate as Owais Ahmad Khan, son of Gh Mohd Khan, a resident of Khancheck Tekipora Lolab. 

During preliminary investigation, he was found to be in contact with a Pakistani-based terrorist handler, who had motivated him to join terror ranks. Incriminating material has also been seized from the arrested person. 

Further investigation into the case has been taken up and more arrests in this network cannot be ruled out, SSP said. 

"Timely action by joint forces has prevented his recruitment into terror ranks. Kupwara police requests parents to keep a close watch over their children to not fall into the trap of the adversary who has spoiled the youth of Kashmir for their nefarious designs," the SSP said.

So far, 162 terrorist associates have been arrested this year in Kashmir.
