Two Hybrid LeT Terrorists Apprehended In Shopian District.

In a major operational success, police on Thursday said that two hybrid terrorists affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were arrested during a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) launched at Baskuchan area of south Kashmir’s Shopian district by SOG Shopian in coordination with 44 RR and 178 Bn CRPF following specific input, officials said. An FIR has been registered under relevant sections and further investigation is underway.

The area was effectively cordoned, and movement of terrorists was observed in a nearby orchard. Swift and strategic action by the forces led to the successful surrender of two LeT hybrid terrorists—Irfan Bashir and Uzair Salam—averting a potential encounter, police said.

Significant recoveries include:

• 02 AK-56 rifles
• 04 magazines
• 102 rounds (7.62×39mm)
• 02 hand grenades
• 02 pouches
• ₹5400 in cash
• 01 mobile phone
• 01 smartwatch
• 02 biscuit packets
• 01 Aadhaar card

FIR has been registered under relevant sections, and investigation is underway.

Five terrorists tasked with important roles in the Pakistan-based terror groups, Jash-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, were killed in the initial phase of Operation Sindoor when Indian forces struck terror camps deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) in the early morning of May 7. India also eliminated more than 100 terrorists after it struck nine terror launch pads.
