Sopore Police Book Three for Subversive Activities; Detained Under PSA

Sopore : In a crackdown on subversive and anti-national elements, Sopore Police have booked three individuals under the Public Safety Act (PSA) for their continued involvement in activities prejudicial to the security and sovereignty of the Union Territory.

The individuals have been identified as:
1. Irfan Mohiuddin Dar, S/O Gh. Mohiuddin Dar, R/O Sangrampora Sopore
2. Mohd Asif Khan, S/O Ab. Rehman Khan, R/O Harwan Bomai
3. Gowhar Maqbool Rather, S/O Mohd Maqbool Rather, R/O Hardushiva

Despite being previously booked in multiple FIRs under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and facing repeated preventive actions, the trio continued to operate discreetly—using encrypted VOIP platforms and VPN networks to maintain contact with terrorist handlers across the border. They were also involved in clandestinely motivating local youth into anti-national activities.

Following sustained surveillance and dossier preparation, detention orders were issued by the competent authority. All three have been formally detained and lodged in Kot Bhalwal Jail.

This action underscores Sopore Police’s uncompromising stance against anti-national elements. We reiterate a clear message:
*We are watching. Any individual attempting to disrupt peace or security will face the full weight of the law.*

Sopore Police expresses gratitude to the peace-loving citizens of Sopore, whose support continues to empower our efforts. We urge the public to remain vigilant and to cooperate in safeguarding the hard-earned peace of the Valley.
