Jammu, Indian troops have arrested a youth in the Rajouri district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, marking a continued security operation in the region. The arrest occurred during a search operation in the Keri area, with the individual being detained and taken to a nearby Indian army camp for further questioning.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident is part of a broader pattern of arrests and security operations conducted by Indian forces in the region. In addition to the arrest in Rajouri, Indian police have detained several individuals in Sopore, Baramulla, and Ganderbal areas, labeling them as drug peddlers. Authorities claim to have seized 70 bottles of codeine phosphate, other contraband substances, and 10 strips of the banned drug SpasmoProxyvon-Plus from those arrested.

The report also details a cordon and search operation (CASO) launched by Indian troops in the Manjakote area of Rajouri district. These operations are part of India’s ongoing efforts to maintain security and combat illegal activities in the region, although they often raise concerns about human rights and the treatment of the local population.

The series of arrests and the intensified search operations reflect the tense security situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. These actions by Indian troops and police come amidst a backdrop of longstanding disputes and unrest in the region, highlighting the complex challenges facing security forces and local communities alike.
