Srinagar, Sep 24: In a major development in the investigation of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, Jammu and Kashmir Police have arrested Mohammad Kataria, a key operative who provided crucial logistical support to the militants involved.
Officials confirmed that Kataria’s arrest came after a detailed forensic and technical analysis of the weapons recovered during Operation Mahadev. His role in arranging shelter, movement, and supplies for the attackers has been established.
The Pahalgam attack, one of the deadliest in recent years, claimed the lives of 26 people. Police said the arrest marks a “big breakthrough” in dismantling the network behind the assault and is expected to lead to further leads on the militants and their handlers.
Security agencies continue their investigation to trace the wider module connected to the cross-border conspiracy.
