The police on Wednesday claimed to have busted a module of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) by arresting four men, who were allegedly planning to carry out a car-bomb attack on security forces in Pampore.

“Jaish wanted to carry out a car-bomb attack and the Awantipora police were tracking this module. We have arrested four persons in this regard and have also seized the car that was to be used in carrying out the attack,” IGP, Kashmir zone, Vijay Kumar told reporters.

He said the JeM had motivated Sahil Nazir, a BA-I student, through Telegram and other mobile messaging applications to procure a second-hand car for carrying out the attack.

“Using technical as well as human intelligence, the police nabbed Sahil, who revealed the plot about the car-bomb attack. Kaiser, Younis and Yasir Ahmad Wani, who were involved in hatching the plot, have also been arrested,” Vijay Kumar said, adding that the car was seized from the house of Younis. — PTI
