Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama recovered IEDs from the over-ground workers (OGWs) of slain Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commanders Reyaz Dar and Rayees Dar. The explosives, packed in a plastic container, weighed around six kilograms.

The recovery occurred during a joint cordon and search operation conducted by the Pulwama police, Army, and CRPF, according to a police press release.

During the search operation, the two terrorists, Reyaz Ahmed Dar from Sether Gund and Rayees Ahmed Dar from Larve in Nihama village, fired upon the security forces, prompting the initiation of the operation.

In the operation conducted on the night of June 2 and 3, security forces neutralised LeT commander Reyaz Dar and his associate Rayees Dar, both classified as category A terrorists.

The investigation revealed a network of over-ground workers (OGWs) who provided harbour, shelter, and logistics to the terrorists. The OGWs identified were Bilal Ahmed Lone, Sajjad Ganie, and Shakir Bashir, all residents of Nihama. Authorities subsequently arrested all three individuals.

The investigation further revealed that the two slain terrorists had assembled improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which were subsequently recovered from Shakir Bashir's possession. Bashir had concealed the IEDs in the orchards. These devices were found packed in a plastic container alongside explosives and an active circuit trigger mechanism, weighing approximately six kilograms. The Pulwama police and army later safely destroyed the IEDs on site, according to a press release.

During the course of the investigation, a significant quantity of arms and ammunition, including AK-47 rifles, AK-47 rounds, pistols, and other related materials, were also seized. The Pulwama police reported that in connection with these findings, a case has been registered under various sections including 307 IPC (attempt to murder), 7/27 Arms Act, and sections 16, 18, 19, 20, and 38 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) at Police Station Kakapora.
