J&K Police Step Up Multi‑Pronged Drive Against Terror and Crime Networks

DGP Nalin Prabhat signaled tighter operations after fresh threat intelligence triggered searches across districts, with financial probes targeting the support network.

Overview

  • Prabhat said terrorism, drug trafficking, gangsters and other crimes will remain in the sights of police, with the goal of stamping out anti‑national and anti‑social activity.
  • Security agencies launched multi‑day searches in the upper reaches of Rajouri and Kishtwar after inputs on militant movements, while checks intensified at major installations.
  • Officials noted a recent escape of militants after a gunfight in Udhampur, prompting heightened vigilance for power projects in Kishtwar and nearby districts.
  • Police in Udhampur attached properties worth about Rs 1.20 crore belonging to alleged drug peddler Wahid Maqbool Mir after financial scrutiny, with NDPS proceedings ongoing.
  • Oversight continues through reviews led by Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha with regular briefings to Home Minister Amit Shah, as police pair enforcement with outreach such as the Kathua martyrs’ T20 tournament, welfare support for families, and youth programs.
