police said they had arrested three Pakistain-linked terror associates and recovered six grenades from them, foiling a terror plot to attack a temple in the border district of Poonch and disturb communal harmony.
Senior Superintendent of Police Ramesh Kumar Angral said the arrested were planning to carry out a grenade attack on a temple at the behest of their Pak handler to disturb communal amity in the district.
The officer told presspersons in Poonch that the ploy was revealed after the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the police, along with troops of the 49 Rashtriya Rifles, detained two brothers - Mustafa Iqbal Khan and Murtaza Iqbal of Galhuta village - from their vehicle near Basooni in the Mendhar sector on Saturday.
On interrogation, it was found that Mustafa had received a call from a Pak number and was directed to execute the grenade attack.
"On being questioned further, he admitted to have been tasked with throwing a grenade at a temple in Ari village. A video on how to use a grenade was also found in his phone," the SSP said.
The SSP said it came to light that Mustafa was involved in hard boy activities, and on his confession two of his associates - Mohammad Yaseen and Rayees Ahmad of Dabbi village of Balakote near the Line of Control (LoC) - were apprehended.
Another police official said the three were arrested later, while Murtaza Iqbal is still in jug.
The SSP added, "Vital clues were obtained during the questioning of the trio and searches were conducted in the house of Mustafa from where six grenades, some balloons with Pak marking and a few posters of hitherto unknown J&K Ghaznavi Force were recovered."
Asked about the link between the arrested persons and the December 13 encounter in Dogrian village of Poonch which left two Paksitani hard boyz dead, he said it was the follow-up of that very operation.
'What is going on in Kashmir?': Families dispute Indian claims youths killed in 'encounter' were fighters
[Dawn] In a rare protest, the families of two teenage boys and a young man, killed in Indian-Indian Kashmir
 ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir . The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
e on Wednesday by government forces during an alleged firefight, have denied they were fighters.
Police said the trio were killed in a 20-hour shootout on the outskirts of the region's main city of Srinagar after they were cornered inside a home on Tuesday.
"Repeated announcements were made to the hiding faceless myrmidons to lay down their illegal weapons and surrender," police said in a statement. "Instead, the hiding faceless myrmidons fired continuously upon the searching party."
But relatives of the trio disputed the story and protested outside a police building in Srinagar where the bodies were being kept.
"Yesterday at 10 in the morning, he had tea with me," Bashir Ahmad Ganai, the grandfather of one of the slain youths, Aijaz Maqbool, told news hounds.
"We don't know where he was picked up from and later killed. What is going on in Kashmir?" Ganai said.
The families of the other two — high school student Athar Mushtaq and carpenter Zubair — also insisted they were innocent.
Parents of the students said they had been on their way to receive private tutoring in Srinagar. But police insisted two of them were "hardcore associates of terrorists" and the third might have recently joined fighter ranks. Even then, Kashmir Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar admitted the names of the trio killed in the 'encounter' were not in the "list of terrorists", according to The Indian Express.
The exact ages of the three killed were not released.
