Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have arrested a dismissed jawan of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and his two sons for allegedly being a part of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist outfit. This is the first time someone with this background had been arrested in an encounter with militants.

After a brief gun battle with the army and CRPF in the Poonch district of the Kashmir valley, the three were arrested today. An alleged Pakistani member of the JeM was killed during the encounter. The former CRPF soldier was identified as Mohammed Khalid and his sons as Mohammed Zubber Hussain and Mohammed Saddam Hussain.

Senior officials said that apart from arms and money, they’d recovered two mobile phones and a SIM card and were studying the call details. “Since he has worked in the paramilitary, it is possible that he was in touch with other members of the security force as well,” said a source.
