NIA Takes Charge of Major LeT Terror Module Bust

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has formally taken over the probe into the recently exposed interstate Lashkar‑e‑Taiba (LeT) terror module, securing custody of five arrested operatives—including two Pakistani nationals—for detailed interrogation. 

The development marks a significant escalation in India’s counter‑terror efforts, following a major breakthrough by the Jammu and Kashmir Police on April 7, officials in winter capital Jammu said.

According to officials, the arrests included Abdullah, also known as Abu



Hureira, a high‑value LeT operative who had managed to evade security agencies for nearly 16 years. 

Having infiltrated India more than a decade and a half ago, Abdullah is believed to have established operational bases and support structures outside the Union Territory. 

Another Pakistani national, Usman alias Khubaib, was also apprehended, along with three Srinagar residents—Muhammad Naqeeb Bhat, Adil Rashid, and Ghulam Muhammad Mir alias Mama—who allegedly provided logistical support, shelter, and resources to the foreign militants.
