Srinagar, In a recent operation in the Kulgam district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops have arrested four young individuals. The arrests took place during a cordon and search operation conducted jointly by the Indian army and police in the Qaimoh area of the district.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the operation led to the detention of these youths, who have been labeled as overground workers by the troops, a term often used to justify such arrests within the region. The declaration serves as a preliminary justification for their detention amidst ongoing security measures in the area.
The statement released by the Indian forces indicates that the operation is part of a larger effort to clamp down on activities deemed as security threats, with the expectation of further arrests in the vicinity. The continuation of such operations and the subsequent detentions highlight the tense situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, reflecting the ongoing conflict and the impact on local populations.
Investigations into the detained youths are currently underway, suggesting a broader security crackdown in the region. These developments come amid heightened scrutiny of India’s actions in Jammu and Kashmir and raise concerns about the treatment of young people and the legal justifications for their arrest.
