Srinagar, July 01: Security forces apprehended a suspected terror associate in the Sopore area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, officials said on Monday.

Police, army and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel set up a joint checkpoint at Machipora in the Bomai area of Sopore late on Sunday.

“During checking, a vehicle coming from Bomai towards Machipora was intercepted. The driver tried to flee but the alert party apprehended him,” the officials said.

The apprehended accused was identified as Waheed ul Zahoor, a resident of the district’s Rafiabad area, they said.

Two Turkiye-made pistols, three magazines, 41 rounds, a silencer, two China-made grenades and materials for making improvised explosive devices were seized from the vehicle, the officials said and added a case had been registered.

Meanwhile, Security personnel recovered a rusted mortar shell in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district on Monday, officials said.

Locals in the district’s Badori village spotted the shell in a field and alerted police, they said.

A bomb disposal squad was rushed to the spot to defuse it, they added.
