A team of police arrested three men from Jammu and Kashmir over the allegation of murdering a cab driver. While the officers were there to arrest the three men, they also found a terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
The accused have been identified as Sahil Bashir, his brother Aijaz Ahmad alias Wasim, and Munish Singh alias Ansh, all residents of J&K, said Punjab director general of police Gaurav Yadav.
Bashir was a wanted criminal under the UAPA and Arms Act cases registered at the Qalamabad police station in Handwara. Police said the arrests were made after investigating the alleged abduction and murder of Anil Kumar, a resident of Mohali. A case was registered after his vehicle was snatched by unidentified assailants recently. The driver was last contacted on August 28.
“The snatched vehicle and the .32-bore pistol used in the crime have been recovered. During interrogation, the accused confessed to having fatally shot the driver after an altercation and later disposed of the body in Mohali,” a senior police officer said.
“In a major breakthrough, Mohali police bust a terror module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and apprehend three persons from J&K in abduction and murder of a cab driver and recover a weapon from the vehicle,” he posted on X.
