Jammu and Kashmir Police have arrested two terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, J-K’s Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Anand Jain said on Saturday.

Speaking to ANI, Anand Jain said that the arrests led to the solving of multiple grenade attack cases.

“We have got a big achievement because we have arrested two terrorists who had carried out activities like grenade lobbying, anti-national posters were put up…Grenades were thrown at Gurudwaras, temples, hospitals, army bases,” Anand Jain said.

He further said that the terrorists wanted to disturb the communal harmony of the area.

Earlier on Friday, the security forces apprehended a terror-linked individual in the Dundak area of the Surankote Sector of Poonch district.

The police have confirmed the recovery of four grenades from the suspect, whose arrest could mark a major breakthrough in solving recent terror incidents in the frontier district.

Earlier, Ashok Chauhan, a migrant labourer from Bihar was found dead with bullet injuries on Friday in Shopian district.

On October 9, security forces recovered the body of a missing soldier of the territorial army who had been abducted by terrorists in the Anantnag area of Jammu and Kashmir.
