Averting a major tragedy in Jammu and Kashmir ahead of Independence Day, police have busted a module of Jaish-e-Mohammed by arresting four terrorists who were planning the collection of arms dropped by drones and supply to active terrorists in Kashmir, news agency ANI reported.

According to Inspector General of Police, Jammu, one of the arrested JeM terrorists, identified as Ijahar khan, a resident of UP’s Shamli, disclosed that Munazir, a Jaish commander in Pakistan had asked him to collect weapons from near Amritsar which would be dropped by a drone.

The IGP added that Ijahar Khan was asked by a Pakistan-based terrorist to do reconnaissance of Panipat Oil Refinery which he did and sent videos to Pakistan. He was tasked to do reconnaissance of Ram Temple in Ayodhya but was arrested before he could accomplish this task.
