Pulwama: Security agencies in Pulwama apprehended a suspected overground worker linked to militant networks during an operation on Saturday, officials confirmed.
The individual, identified as Umar Malik from the Kachipora locality, was taken into custody following specific intelligence inputs. During the search, security personnel recovered a cache of arms and explosives, including a pistol, ammunition, grenades of foreign origin, and a mobile device.
Authorities believe the suspect may have been providing logistical support to militants operating in the region, though further investigation is underway to determine the extent of his involvement and possible links to active groups.
