Srinagar June 27 : In a continued crackdown on elements threatening regional stability, Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday detained three individuals under the Public Safety Act (PSA). According to officials, the trio was allegedly involved in activities considered detrimental to the peace, security, and sovereignty of the Union Territory. The action comes amid heightened security measures across the region.
The accused Irfan Mohiuddin Dar, Mohd Asif Khan, and Gowhar Maqbool Rather were reportedly under electronic and physical surveillance for months. Officials allege the trio used encrypted VoIP and VPN channels to stay in contact with terrorist handlers based across the border, even while facing prior charges under UAPA.
Police sources say the men played a key role in secretly radicalising local youth and spreading anti-national propaganda.
Authorities highlighted the operation as part of a broader effort to neutralise digital threats to national security. The three have been shifted to Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu after orders from the competent authority.
