During the investigation, SIA Kashmir has adduced evidence which establishes the connection of the arrested person with a terrorist handler belonging to HM who is operating from across the LOC on whose behest the OGW was orchestrating terrorist, unlawful and anti-national activities by actively engaging in terrorist conspiracy, propagating and furthering anti-India narratives.

Their activities were aimed not only at challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India but also at inciting disaffection, public disorder, and communal hatred, the police said.
The arrest of the OGW is being considered a major success in the path towards unearthing the sleeper cells who are highly radicalised, sharing secessionist, unlawful, separatist contents and are also having connections with Pakistan terror handlers, terrorist organization and Pakistan intelligence agencies.
