Meanwhile, the Anantnag Police has announced a reward of Rs 20 lakh for information leading to the arrests of Thokar, Ali Bhai, and Hashim Musa.
Security beefed up
Security across the region has been beefed up following the terror attack in Pahalgam.
A joint operation involving the Army, CRPF, and J&K Police is currently underway in the region. The operation has been extended to cover a 5-kilometre radius from the site of the attack in Pahalgam. Special forces, sniffer dogs, and various technical intelligence resources have been mobilised to locate the attackers.
The Kashmir Valley has been swamped with additional checkpoints, with quick reaction teams being deployed in key installations and tourist hotspots.
Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi will travel to Baisaran Valley on Friday to hold a security meeting following the attacks.
All-party meeting
Leaders across party lines on Thursday called for decisive action against terrorism and terror camps, and assured the government of their full support, even as some opposition parties flagged security lapses in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, where terrorists gunned down 26 people.
During an all-party meeting to discuss the April 22 Pahalgam attack, the government said it was taking all measures to ensure security and assured the leaders of action against terrorism and its backers.
It noted that the Pahalgam attack was aimed at vitiating the atmosphere at a time when the economy was on the upswing and tourism in Jammu and Kashmir was booming.

Wheels come off fake auto parts racket
New Delhi: Making a dent in a major counterfeit automobile parts racket operating from Karol Bagh, Delhi Police's crime branch seized duplicate auto parts and equipment worth over Rs 50 lakh and arrested 11 individuals. The racket involved the manufacture and sale of cheap, inferior products disguised as original equipment manufacturer parts to unsuspecting customers, police said. Based on a tip-off, a police team conducted simultaneous raids on four premises in Karol Bagh and recovered a large quantity of counterfeit auto parts, including brake pads, filters, spark plugs and clutch plates. Forged packaging, stickers, holograms and printing machines were also seized. Around 200 bottles of counterfeit branded engine oils were also found in their possession. The gang's modus operandi involved procuring low-quality counterfeit auto parts from local and regional manufacturers at a fraction of the cost of genuine parts. "They would then rebrand the fake products to resemble those of reputed automobile companies using forged labels, holograms, logos and packaging materials. The counterfeit products were sold to local auto part dealers, wholesalers and repair shops in and around Delhi at slightly discounted prices, maximising profit margins," said Aditya Gautam, DCP (crime). The accused operated this racket for several years, with some of them having previous cases registered against them for intellectual property rights violation and forgery. Dheeraj Singh , the kingpin of the operation, was found to be a commerce graduate with experience in supply chain and inventory control. He engaged in this trade for the last four years and built a network of suppliers and distributors. Besides Dheeraj, the other arrested men were Amit Singh, Dipankar Nagpal, Harsh Kumar, Rinku, Ravinder, Raghvender Singh, Sachin Singh, Vinod Ahuja, Ashish Malhotra and Alok Pruthi.

Sebi fines nearly Rs 4 cr on 11 entities for share price manipulation
New Delhi, Jul 30 (PTI) Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday imposed a penalty totalling Rs 3.87 crore on 11 individuals for manipulating the share price of Darshan Orna Ltd (DOL) using social media channels. The fines need to be paid within 45 days, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in its order. In its order, Sebi noted that a multi-layered market manipulation scheme was orchestrated in the scrip of DOL during September 2021 to June 2022, involving these entities across three distinct operational tiers, whereby in tier 1, Noticee 1 (Aakash Doshi) accumulating the company's shares through his own account and those of his father Dilip Doshi, while Kevin Kapadia traded in his wife's account Kruti Kevin Kapadia and provided crucial funding support to other participants. In tier 2, the funding infrastructure was bolstered by Satyen Dalal, who provided Rs 46 lakh in tranches to the Doshi family during the share accumulation phase and received back 90 per cent of these funds during the selling phase, demonstrating the scheme's temporary nature. In tier 3, the message circulation network was meticulously coordinated through Dhanpal Gandhi, who served as the crucial link between the other entities and the Telegram platform, working in conjunction with Amesh Jaiswal and Jalaj Agarwal, who posted the recommendations on the Telegram platform TBO. 'The trading activities in the scrip coupled with messages on Telegram app created an impression of increased price and volume in the market, which had allegedly influenced the gullible investors to purchase the shares of DOL, and the same was evident from the fact that during the same time, the number of public shareholders witnessed a huge jump from 1,732 to 7,536 i.e. an increase by 335 per cent during the quarter of January 2022 to March 2022," Sebi said in its 81-page order. Besides, the share price escalated from Rs 77 to Rs 146.7 during the period and a few individuals collectively profited Rs 2.51 crore while systematically exiting their positions. By indulging in such trades, these individuals violated the provisions of PFUTP (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) norms and accordingly, Sebi levied a fine totalling Rs 3.87 crore on them. The penalty ranges from Rs 10 lakh to 1.2 crore. The order came after Sebi conducted an investigation into the matter of trading activities of certain entities in the scrip of Darshan Orna based on recommendations that were circulated on the Telegram channel to ascertain possible violation of PFUTP norms. The period of investigation was from September 2021 till June 2022.
