Pulwama terror attack: NIA arrests one more accused in J-K

The NIA arrested one more accused on Thursday in connection with last year’s Pulwama terror attack, in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed, an official said. Mohammad Iqbal Rather (25), a resident of Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam, had allegedly facilitated the movement of Muhammad Umar Farooq — a member of the Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the key conspirator in the case — after he infiltrated into the Indian territory in the Jammu region in April 2018, a spokesperson of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said.
