Cross-border drones successfully dropped arms and ammunition as deep into Kashmir as #baramulla without detection for #terrorists involved in the tragic April attack in Baisaran meadows, which claimed 26 lives (mostly tourists).
Security experts point to a critical drop in #human #intelligence gathering between 2022 and 2024, allowing the terror cells to move undetected.

A police official comes to court without papers pertaining to the case hearing.

Acting Chief Justice R V Ghuge - “Have you come to see how the High Court building looks from inside? Now that you have come please visit the museum and go.”

When I joined @PTI_News , a senior told us "This organisation is the heartbeat of every newspaper in the country." Decades later, we aren't just the pulse of traditional print, we are the heartbeat of social media feeds too.
A recent story on @PTI_News by me was as shocking as well as hilarious. A trained #Lashkar-e-Taiba operative pushed across the LoC by handlers in Pakistan/PoK to disrupt peace in the Valley. Instead of executing plots, he vanishes into the city to get... a cosmetic #hair transplant.
Investigating vanity over violence in an active conflict zone was a revelation. Behind this headline lies the silent grit of the @JmuKmrPolice especially the @SrinagarPolice , who burnt the midnight oil tracking his footprints before the case moved to the @NIA_India to unravel the wider network.
The response to this story has been overwhelming, with readers sharing brilliant digital artwork of the "vanity terrorist." We write the words, police and central security agencies protect the lines.

Simari, a picturesque hamlet in the Kashmir valley surrounded by high mountains, was the place from where Army fired shells signalling the start of #OpSindoor

A year after India’s retaliation to the #Pahalgam terror attacks, while silence seems to have settled in Simari, villagers still reel under the brunt of the echoes of the heavy artillery fire sounds.

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Umer Harris, alias 'Khargosh', has been tracked to #Saudi Arabia after fleeing India on a forged passport in which he claimed to be a resident of #Rajasthan.

The @SrinagarPolice probe into an inter-state LeT module has shown critical systemic loopholes in passport verification processes. With the @NIA_India expected to take over, intelligence agencies are working with state police to plug these vulnerabilities immediately. @PoliceRajasthan needs to act as well on information shared by @JmuKmrPolice

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has dismissed the plea of Sanji Ram, the mastermind behind the horrific 2018 #Kathua case, refusing to suspend his life sentence.
The court stated that the gravity of the ghastly crime and said it warrants no such concession at this stage.

Probe into the #whitecollar terror module has exposed the formation of a new group: "Ansar Interim” on lines of #AlQaeda.

Officials reveal that radicalised medical professionals formed this organization to target the UT and hinterland. The @NIA_India is now peeling back the layers of this dangerous new network

The terror module busted by @SrinagarPolice is a chilling reminder of how radicalisation can seep into the most trusted professions.

With the NIA now probing "Ansar Interim" and its links to the devastating #RedFort attack, it’s clear that high education is no shield against extremist ideology.

Award-winning BrahMos scientist Nishant Agarwal walked free from Nagpur Central Jail after the Bombay High Court acquitted him of charges of spying for Pakistan.

His seven years behind bars came after a "costly mistake" while pursuing an overseas job. The court centered its decision on the lack of 'mens rea' (guilty mind). A tragic loss of career time.
The case for Agarwal was argued before #Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court by Sunil Manohar and Chaitanya B Barve

Radicalisation of the 'white-collar' terror module (including doctors involved in the Red Fort area bombing) began as early as 2019, exclusively on social media. Handlers holed outside used encrypted platforms to groom and brainwash highly educated professionals.

In a tense interrogation over a terror module & 2,500kg of explosives, the detained preacher's biggest concern wasn't the police, but the six months of unpaid rent owed by the arrested doctors who stored saying it was a "fertilizers."

Even amidst national security concern, the battle against debt is real.
