NEW DELHI, Dec: On Saturday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a chargesheet against two individuals in connection with a case involving the seizure of arms and explosives in Jammu and Kashmir associated with the banned terrorist group Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM).
As per an official release, the chargesheet was submitted to an NIA special court in Jammu against Waheed Ul Zahoor, who was the driver of the vehicle from which the items were confiscated on June 30, along with another individual, Mubashir Maqbool Mir.
The NIA’s statement noted that both individuals had links to their HM handlers based in Pakistan.
The confiscation of explosives, weapons, and other incriminating evidence occurred at a checkpoint set up by security forces in Machipora, Baramulla district, on June 30.
Security personnel attempted to stop the vehicle, but Waheed attempted to escape and was apprehended, leading to a search of his car that resulted in the seizure.
During the investigation, Waheed admitted to being an Over Ground Worker (OGW) for the HM, according to the statement.
Subsequent searches at Waheed’s residence in Mujgung, Srinagar, uncovered additional incriminating materials, the report indicated.
The investigation further identified Mir as a conspirator in the case, resulting in his arrest.
It was also revealed that Mir was providing financial support to Waheed, as stated by the authorities.
The investigation is ongoing as the NIA continues its efforts to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy and determine the intended destination of the seized arms and materials.
