Authorities on Wednesday arrested Mohd Yousuf Katari, allegedly linked to the Pahalgam terror attack, in South Kashmir. This arrest stems from an embedded intelligence operation by Srinagar police, targeting terrorists' logistical networks.
Katari, 26, was identified as an Over Ground Worker (OGW) from Kulgam district, believed to have assisted the terrorists responsible for the attack. The Pahalgam incident resulted in 26 casualties, mainly tourists.
The July 29 counter-operation saw elite army para commandos neutralizing the attackers. Among them was Sulieman, tagged as the mastermind. Further, Jibran, associated with a recent Sonamarg Tunnel incident, was also killed.
