A Case has been registered at Shalteng Police Station. Earlier on May 1, another `hybrid` terrorist of the proscribed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was arrested by the Indian Army`s 34 RR unit along with Kulgam Police from Kashmir.

According to police, the arrested LeT terrorist was in contact with Pakistan-based terrorists as well as local LeT terrorists and was tasked to execute terror incidents. The hybrid terrorist was also involved in providing shelter, logistics and other support to the terrorists which includes transporting arms and ammunition and explosive material of the terrorists in district Kulgam.

The arrested terrorist has been identified as Yamin Yousaf Bhat, a resident of Kulgam`s Gadihama, said the Kashmir police. Incriminating materials consisting of arms and ammunition including a pistol, one magazine, two hand grenades and 51 (9 mm) pistol rounds have been recovered, stated police.
