Jammu Kashmir Police have booked three individuals under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) for their alleged involvement in activities deemed “prejudicial to the security and sovereignty” of the region, officials said on Friday.The trio, identified as Irfan Mohiuddin Dar of Sangrampora Sopore, Mohd Asif Khan of Harwan Bomai, and Gowhar Maqbool Rather of Hardushiva, had reportedly been under surveillance for some time.
According to a police statement, the three were allegedly using encrypted communication channels, including VOIP and VPN networks, to stay in contact with “terrorist handlers across the border.”The police further claimed that the individuals, despite facing multiple FIRs under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in the past, continued to motivate local youth toward anti-national activities “in a clandestine manner.”
“After sustained surveillance and compilation of dossiers, detention orders were issued by the competent authority and all three have been lodged at Kot Bhalwal Jail,” the statement added.Sopore Police reiterated what it called its “uncompromising stance” on what it terms subversive activity, asserting: “We are watching. Any individual attempting to disrupt peace or security will face the full weight of the law.”
Police also thanked the “peace-loving citizens of Sopore” for their support and urged continued public cooperation in maintaining “the hard-earned peace of the valley.”
