Jammu and Kashmir state investigative agency (SIA) on Wednesday presented the chargesheet against five terror associates in Shopian court.

“They were part of a well-hatched conspiracy by Raqeeb-Ul-lah, an active terrorist of Pakistan linked with proscribed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and late Uzair Ashraf of Shopian. Last year, Gowhar and Aaqib were apprehended at a checkpoint at Gulabtang village. Incriminating materials, arms and ammunition, along with cash, were recovered from them. During investigation, Aasif, Afloq and Umer were also arrested. Involvement of Uzair Ashraf (now killed) was also found during the probe,” a police spokesperson said in a statement.
He said during the course of further investigation, it was found that the accused were working as associates on the insistence of Raqeeb-ul-lah. “The investigation conducted has revealed that the accused had developed links with the active terrorists and were providing them all kinds of support knowingly. They were found to be active supporters of proscribed terror outfit LeT,” the spokesperson further said.
