Jammu and Kashmir police detained a terror aide on Thursday under the Public Safety Act (PSA) for providing logistical aid to terrorist groups operating in Udhampur district, said the officials.
The accused, identified as Abdul Qayoom alias Bittu, is a resident of Kadwah in Basantgarh. He was sent to jail.
Acting firmly against terror supporters in the district, police launched an operation and detained a hardcore terror associate in jail under the PSA, a police spokesperson added.
Qayoom was involved in providing logistical help to terrorist groups and he worked as an active guide and facilitator for terrorist organisations until his arrest.
Several FIRs were registered against him at the Basantgarh police station. Considering his activities, the authorities ordered his detention under the PSA, the spokesperson further informed.
With this, the number of terror associates detained in the Udhampur district has risen to three.
On November 29, another terror associate, identified as Abdul Satar from Ponara Soni, was detained under the PSA. He was also involved in multiple terror cases and acted as an active guide and facilitator for terrorist organisations until his arrest, they said.
