Kashmir: In a significant breakthrough for security forces, police in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district have arrested a key Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative connected to the Pahalgam terror attack, marking an important step in dismantling terror support networks in the region.

The accused has been identified as 26-year-old Mohammad Yousuf Kataria, a seasonal teacher and resident of Kulgam. Police stated that Yousuf was actively associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and its shadow outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF).

Investigations revealed that Yousuf had provided logistical support and equipment to terrorists involved in the recent Dachigam forest encounter, codenamed Operation Mahadev, in which several terrorists were neutralized.

Authorities confirmed that the arrest followed a thorough examination of weapons and materials recovered from the encounter site, with forensic analysis establishing Yousuf’s direct involvement in supplying resources that aided terrorist movements and operations in the Pahalgam area.

After being taken into custody, Yousuf was produced before a court, which sent him to judicial custody. Officials highlighted that this arrest is a major success in cutting off the supply chain and logistics that support LeT/TRF modules in Kashmir, dealing a significant blow to terror infrastructure in the region.
