Baramulla, Sept 25: Two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were apprehended along with rifles and ammunition in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district on Saturday, according to authorities.


The Resistance Front (TRF) is said to be a shadow organization of the LeT.

According to the spokeswoman, a file was opened at the Baramulla Police Station and an investigation was launched.
Following the receipt of this information, a combined team of security personnel established a roadblock near Tapper Pattan in the north Kashmir area and captured Shah, according to the spokesman.

Incriminating materials, weaponry, and ammunition, including a handgun, a pistol magazine, and eight live rounds, were seized from Shah's possession, according to the prosecutor.

During questioning, Shah revealed the identity of his other colleague, Parvaiz Ahmad Shah, from the Takiya Wagoora region, according to the spokesman.

The security officers entered his home and detained him, according to the spokeswoman, who added that two hand grenades were seized from his possession.

The investigation is in its early stages, and further arrests and recoveries are likely, according to him.
