According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kishtwar Khalil Poswal Jammu Kashmir Police Station (JKPS), “Kishtwar Police, in coordination with law enforcement agencies, has initiated proclamation proceedings under Section 82 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) against 13 individuals alleged to be involved in acts of terrorism, with purported connections to POK and Pakistan.”

Kishtwar Police also used drum beating to inform the general public about the ongoing efforts to apprehend the 13 alleged terrorists who have been declared as proclaimed offenders.
