The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said on Tuesday that it had arrested another accused in the terror case, involving delivery of weapons from Pakistan by drones to militants in Kashmir.
A NIA spokesman said a team from NIA, Jammu, nabbed Zakir Hussain, 22, from Kathua, Jammu, on Monday. He is the eighth person arrested in the case registered by the NIA on July 30, 2022 after taking over the case from the Kathua police.
“One of the seven accused died of cardiac arrest while in judicial custody. Two other Pakistan-based terror operatives are absconding,” the NIA said.
