A joint team of Pulwama Police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and 55 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) on Tuesday arrested an 18-year-old identified as Danish Bashir alias Maulvi and recovered 10 hand grenades from him.

The apprehension occurred at a checkpoint set up near one of the entry points into Pulwama town, following intelligence from Military Intelligence (MI) regarding potential terrorist activities.

“At this location, Danish Bashir was intercepted when he was riding a scooty, and upon inspection, 10 hand grenades and five batteries ingeniously concealed under the seat of the scooty were discovered in his possession. The youth’s suspicious demeanour and the critical nature of the items found prompted his immediate detention,” sources said.

They said following his arrest, Danish Bashir underwent detailed questioning, revealing his deep radicalisation and his intent to join terrorist ranks.

Police said a potential terror attack has been thwarted with Bashir’s arrest.

Authorities are delving deeper into Bashir’s background, connections, and the network he might be associated with. It’s believed that his arrest could lead to further apprehensions as the investigation progresses.

This operation has likely thwarted a potential terror attack in South Kashmir. The recovery of such a significant cache of grenades indicates terrorists wanted to carry out attacks in the area.

The arrest could further help in disrupting a possible terror network. There have been back-to-back attacks in Kashmir, claiming the lives of 10 civilians and two army men in October.
