A massive anti-terror operation has been launched by Jammu Police in the Samah area of Jammu. The development comes as the security forces are on alert ahead of the Republic Day celebrations on January
26.
According to the sources, the operation was launched after three suspects were seen by a local in the Samah area.
Teams of SOG Jammu, along with Akhnoor Police, are carrying out searches in the area.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police issued alert posters featuring a picture of Mohammed Rehan, an Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) terrorist. Rehan is a wanted terrorist by the Delhi Police and intelligence agencies.
