JeM Terror Recruitment Module Busted In Jammu And Kashmir; 10 Detained
A terror recruitment and financing module operated by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander Abdullah Ghazi, alias Shaukat Ali, from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, has been busted. Ten individuals have been detained for questioning. The Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) traced suspicious technical signatures through a specific encrypted messaging application widely used by terrorists and their handlers for coordinating, financing, and executing terror activities during today's raids. The investigation revealed that Ghazi was in continuous contact with local Kashmiri youth, attempting to radicalise them for recruitment into JeM and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Raids were conducted at 10 locations with a focus on disrupting a terrorist sleeper cell and recruitment module. Sleeper cells consist of individuals who blend into society, often without the knowledge of family or friends and engage in covert activities such as target killings, grenade attacks, or distributing terrorist propaganda. During the raids, several documents and digital devices, including mobile phones, were seized, providing critical evidence to unravel the terror network. Ten suspects were detained for allegedly using encrypted apps to coordinate with handlers across the border. The operation highlighted a shift in terror strategy toward 'Cyber Jihad,' where Pakistan-based operatives use encrypted apps, proxy numbers (including Indian ones), and virtual identities to radicalize youth. The process involves identifying vulnerable individuals on public platforms, then shifting to encrypted apps for mission assignments such as surveillance, arms transport, target selection and luring them with promises of financial rewards and religious justification. This is the fifth major digital terror module dismantled by CIK, following similar operations against Pakistan-based terrorist handlers. With declining local recruitment, Pakistan-based terror groups like JeM and LeT have increasingly relied on digital platforms for radicalising and recruiting Kashmiri youth into terror organisations.

‘Will Shake Ground Beneath People...': Rajasthan Minister On Release Of ‘Udaipur Files' Film
Last Updated: Rajasthan Minister Jogaram Patel criticised the previous Congress government for failing in the 2022 murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal. Rajasthan Minister Jogaram Patel launched a scathing attack on the previous Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government over the murder of Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal in 2022 and said that it was 'one of the biggest failures" of the former regime. His remarks came amid the continuing legal battle over the release of the film 'Udaipur Files – Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder", which is based on the high-profile killing. The film's release remains suspended and is awaiting the decision of the Centre-appointed panel to hear objections against the film. 'The Kanhaiya Lal murder case is one of the biggest failures of the previous Congress government. Just to stay in the headlines, former CM Ashok Gehlot recently claimed that the trial in this case is not taking place," he said. He further said that the trial of the culprits is underway and the government is pursuing the case effectively. "The chargesheet has already been filed and the trial is underway. As the matter is sub-judice, I cannot comment further. The government is pursuing the case effectively and we are fully confident that the trial will conclude soon and the culprits will be awarded capital punishment," he added. Speaking at the event, Patel also issued a veiled warning regarding the potential impact of the film. 'The matter related to the film is in the court. Since it is sub-judice, I cannot comment much. I can only say the day this film is released, it will shake the ground beneath many people." The film, Udaipur Files– Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder, remains under a judicial stay following an order by the Delhi High Court on July 10. The matter reached the Supreme Court on Wednesday and it deferred the case to July 21 and instructed all parties to await the decision of a central government-appointed panel. When the filmmakers argued that the Delhi High Court was wrong to block the film's release as it violated their right to free speech, the Supreme Court responded by saying that the right to life (Article 21) takes priority over the right to freedom of speech and expression (Article 19). The Court said it expects the Centre's committee to make a decision 'immediately, without loss of time," and has scheduled the next hearing for Monday, keeping in mind the urgency raised by the film's makers. The film depicts the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, Rajasthan, who was killed by Mohammad Riyaz Attari and Ghaus Mohammad. The killing, carried out in broad daylight, had sparked national outrage. (With inputs from PTI) view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
