How overground workers giving food and water to terrorism in Kashmir, security forces arrested 250
Attacks on local Hindus and migrants have intensified in the Kashmir Valley in the past few months. Due to this the security forces are alert and have now come into action mode. Security forces have arrested 250 overground workers, who used to help or give information to terrorists. These people have been arrested under UAPA and Public Security Act. Most of these people have been kept in jails outside Jammu and Kashmir. Action on these people started last year. Till May 2021 only 150 people were arrested by the administration.
But their figures have increased rapidly in the last 5 months. In May alone, about 50 people have been arrested. According to official figures, 135 people were arrested in 2020. These people are accused of helping terrorists in the movement. Helped in the supply of weapons and gave them places to live. Overground workers are those people who live like ordinary citizens, but are in contact with terrorists inside. Like common people, they are difficult to identify due to their jobs and involvement in other activities.
In such a situation, overground workers become even more dangerous. An official of the Home Ministry said about their work that these people try not to identify the attacker. Small arms are now being used in most of the attacks, which they keep hidden. It is not possible for the security forces to check everyone. In such a situation, it is easy to carry these weapons. On the one hand, security forces are trying to stop the violence in Kashmir, while on the other hand, it is being investigated by the central government as to who is behind these incidents.
Let us inform that the security forces had busted the terror module of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Awantipora on 24 May and arrested 8 people. These people are accused of giving shelter to terrorists, providing facilities and also supplying weapons. These people had provided weapons to two terrorists named Asif Sheikh and Ejaz Bhat. Apart from this, another overground worker was arrested by the NIA on 26 May. The man, who was accused of involvement in the Sujwan terror attack, was identified as Abid Ahmed Mir.
