Helper of terrorists in Pahalgam attack arrested

Kashmir: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday arrested a man accused of assisting terrorists in the Pahalgam attack. Police identified the accused as 26-year-old Yusuf Katari, a resident of Kulgam.

According to police, Katari had provided logistical support to terrorists of The Resistance Front (TRF) involved in the April 22 attack. He has been sent to 14-day police remand.

Media reports said Katari, who taught local children, came in contact with terrorists a few days ago and began helping them.

Investigators traced his role during a probe into weapons recovered in Operation Mahadev, which also revealed that he had earlier assisted Lashkar terrorists in the forests of Kulgam.
