Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir police in a joint operation on Tuesday (5 May) have arrested an over ground worker (OGW) of terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen from Doda in the Union Territory (UT).
The forces also recovered ammunition including one Chinese pistol, a wireless set and 10 round bullets from him, news agency ANI reported Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Doda.
The OGWs are the sympathisers of terror groups who supply them information of security forces and provide them with local aid.
According to J&K Police Department's Crime Gazette, OGWs “act as eyes and ears” of the underground terrorists. They arrange hideouts, transport weapons from safe places to the areas where terror strikes are planned by the outfits.
Another job that they carry out in the valley is of levelling false allegations of sacrilege, molestation, beating of people by security forces, as per the UT police department.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
