The probe also revealed the larger conspiracy of the Hizbul Mujahideen. The group was attempting to revive terrorism in the Chenab valley. It may be recalled that the same terrorists had carried out three other attacks in the area in 2019.
The conspiracy was hatched by Jahangir Saroori, the commander of the outfit in Kishtwar district. They had also devised methods to raise funds and sustain the outfit. They also looted weapons from the police stations, the NIA said. The NIA is now on the lookout for Saroori.
