Rajouri/Jammu, Dec 6 (PTI) Two overground workers of terrorists were arrested along with arms and ammunition in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, police said on Wednesday.

Jammu-based Army PRO Lt Col Suneel Bartwal said the arrest of the two “hardcore terrorist associates” busted a terror module as a result of a relentless intelligence-based joint operation by the Army and the police.

The police said Mohd Farooq and Mohd Nazir were arrested during a search and cordon operation in Behrote village of the district’s Budhal area.

A pistol, two magazines, 30 bullets, two hand grenades and some other items such as clothes and a wire cutter were recovered from a nearby forest at their disclosure, they said.
