Indian Army Foils Major Infiltration Bid By JeM Terrorists in J&K's Rajouri, Guide Arrested
Last Updated: Acting on intelligence inputs regarding a fresh infiltration attempt by JeM terrorists across the LoC, the Indian Army and BSF initiated counter-infiltration operation on June 29 The Indian Army foiled a major infiltration bid by heavily armed terrorists belonging to the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Gambhir area of Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri on Sunday. Acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding a fresh infiltration attempt by JeM terrorists across the LoC, the Indian Army and the Border Security Force (BSF) initiated a well-coordinated counter-infiltration operation on June 29, according to an official statement. Vigilant troops in the rugged terrain of the Gambhir area detected suspicious movement of a group of 4-5 heavily armed individuals who were attempting to infiltrate the border by using the dense coverage and terrain. The Indian Army took decisive action and caused injuries to the infiltrating terrorists. Four terrorists, believed to be members of the JeM, sustained injuries while attempting to escape and were forced to retreat back across the LoC under the cover of thick foliage and adverse weather conditions, while one individual, later identified as a guide facilitating the infiltration, was apprehended by the security forces. A thorough search operation was launched in the area after the infiltration attempt was foiled, leading to the recovery of sensitive artifacts, including a mobile phone and Pakistani currency, as per the statement. After interrogation, the arrested individual confessed that he was a resident of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir close to the LoC and worked on the directions of Pakistan Army officers. He also confirmed that the JeM terrorists had significant quantities of warlike stores, including arms, ammunition, and other incriminating materials, confirming the nefarious agenda of the group. The guide is currently undergoing detailed interrogation by the joint interrogation team, and crucial intelligence is being extracted, which will aid in further strengthening the counter-infiltration grid. 'This successful operation once again underscores the unwavering resolve and professional prowess of the Indian Army in safeguarding our national borders. The swift detection, effective response, and successful apprehension of a guide speak volumes about the high state of operational readiness and coordinated efforts of our troops deployed along the LoC," said the Indian Army. Earlier, the Indian Army had accelerated plans to implement key infrastructure projects along the border between the two nations to boost national security and discourage infiltration, as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

Army foils major infiltration bid on LoC in Rajouri, captures Pak guide
Close on the heels of capturing a Pakistani guide on Sunday, the Army stated that a major infiltration attempt by heavily armed terrorists belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) outfit along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Gambhir area of Rajouri district was effectively foiled by alert troops. The Pakistani national, identified as 22-year-old Mohammad Arib Ahmed, was caught in a forward area in the Bhimber Gali sector. "The swift and decisive action by alert troops resulted in the capture of a key guide, effectively disrupting the infiltration attempt and likely causing injuries to the infiltrating terrorists," the Army added. Mohammad Arib Ahmed, son of Mohammad Yousuf from Detote in the Nikiyal area of Kotli district in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), was captured by alert troops on Sunday. "Acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding a fresh attempt to push terrorists across the LoC, the Army, along with the BSF, initiated a well-coordinated counter-infiltration operation on Sunday. Vigilant troops, maintaining an aggressive surveillance posture in the rugged terrain of the Gambhir area, detected suspicious movement by a group of four to five heavily armed individuals attempting to exploit the difficult terrain and dense foliage to infiltrate," said a Defence official. "During the subsequent operation, one individual—later identified as a guide facilitating the infiltration—was successfully apprehended. The remaining four terrorists, believed to be members of JeM, are suspected to have sustained injuries while attempting to escape and were forced to retreat across the LoC under the cover of thick foliage and adverse weather conditions," he added. A thorough search operation was launched in the area following the action, leading to the recovery of sensitive items, including a mobile phone and Pakistani currency, the official informed. During initial interrogation, the apprehended individual confirmed that he is a resident of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, close to the LoC, and was acting under the directions of Pakistan Army officers stationed at forward posts, the officer said. "The individual also confirmed that the JeM terrorists were carrying significant quantities of warlike stores, including arms, ammunition, and other incriminating materials, further confirming the nefarious intentions of the infiltrators," he added. The captured guide is currently undergoing detailed interrogation by a joint interrogation team, and crucial intelligence is being extracted, which will aid in further strengthening the counter-infiltration grid, the officer said.

West Bengal alleges Odisha has detained nearly 100 of its migrants claiming they are Bangladeshis
The West Bengal government has alleged that nearly 100 migrant workers from the state have been detained in Odisha and 'sent to detention centres' on suspicion of being Bangladeshis, The Indian Express reported on Monday. In May, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Odisha government launched a statewide operation to identify and deport undocumented Bangladeshi migrants living in the state. Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP and chairman of West Bengal's Migrant Welfare Board Samirul Islam has said that 'top administrative officials and police officers…have reached out to their counterparts in Odisha' regarding the alleged illegal detentions, the newspaper reported. 'But they are not releasing the poor migrant workers,' Islam was quoted as saying on Monday. 'What has happened is unconstitutional'. He added: 'They are Indian citizens and residents of Bengal. They have gone to Odisha for work. But they have been detained and labelled Bangaldeshis. They have been sent to the detention centre. We will bring them home'. The Rajya Sabha MP claimed that this trend is happening in 'state after state under BJP rule'. However, an unidentified Odisha government official told The Indian Express that 'no one is being detained at any police station'. The government is conducting verifications as part of a nationwide exercise in view of the recent developments in the neighbourhood, the official added. 'We are just verifying their identities and are also in touch with West Bengal government,' the newspaper quoted the official as saying. The development comes nearly two weeks after four men from West Bengal, who had been picked up by the Maharashtra Police and 'pushed' into Bangladesh, were brought back on June 15. The Murshidabad Police in West Bengal had presented proof of them being Indian citizens. Over the past month, Indian authorities have been pursuing a policy to push individuals claimed to be undocumented migrants into Bangladesh. India has pushed back more than 2,000 persons into Bangladesh since the country launched ' Operation Sindoor ', a military operation against terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The legality of the 'push back' policy has been debated in India and internationally. Experts have told Scroll that the policy violated India's obligations under international law and customary international law.
