Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 22: After filing chargesheet against narco-terrorists, investigation agencies have established cross-border links in the infamous Handwara narco-terrorism case.
One Assistant Sub-Inspector of the Border Security Force (BSF) was also arrested in this high-profile case in which terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) were directly involved.
According to reports NIA has already arrested the 12th accused in connection with the Handwara narco-terrorism case from Kupwara for his alleged involvement in the supply of narcotics, cash and arms, and ammunition through the Line of Control (LOC).
The case was initially registered on June 11, 2020, at Handwara Police Station and later it was taken over by the NIA on June 23, 2020, by re-registering the case.
On August 29, 2021 NIA filed a supplementary chargesheet, against the arrested terrorists in the Handwara narco-terrorism case, exposing the nefarious designs of terror groups.
The deep-rooted conspiracy for procuring and selling narcotics drugs and generating funds in J&K and other parts of India was unearthed during the questioning of seven arrested accused in the Handwara narco-terrorism case.
The charge-sheeted accused were part of a deep-rooted conspiracy to procure and selling narcotics drugs and generate funds in J&K and other parts of India in close association with operatives of banned terrorist outfits, Lashkar-E-Taiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen(HM), based across the border in Pakistan.
The funds generated were pumped for the furtherance of terrorist activity in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir through a network of overground workers ( OGWs).
Besides OGWs, the NIA has already arrested an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of the Border Security Force (BSF) from Handwara for allegedly helping cross-border drug traffickers associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).
Romesh Kumar was arrested for allegedly helping terrorists. Kumar allegedly connived with drug traffickers linked to terror groups when he was posted in the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on deputation and investigated drug traffickers and networks in Baramulla and Handwara regions. |
