J&K Police have arrested Mohammed Rafiq Naik in Kishtwar, in what authorities describe as a significant action in a terrorism-related case. According to the available details, Naik is accused of acting as a facilitator and helping foreign militants.
Police allege that the accused provided logistical and operational assistance, making him an important link in the support structure behind militant activity in the region. The arrest was reported late Tuesday and adds to ongoing security efforts in Jammu and Kashmir.
Cases involving so-called terrorist handlers are seen as especially important because investigators often focus not only on armed operatives but also on those accused of arranging movement, coordination, or other support. Such arrests are typically aimed at weakening the networks that help militants function on the ground.
While only limited information has been made public so far, the development highlights continued counterterror operations in Kishtwar and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir. Officials are expected to pursue the investigation further based on the allegations tied to the arrest.
