At least 10 pistols and five grenades, tipped to be ferried into the Kashmir valley, were seized in the frontier pocket of Karnah, close to the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Kupwara, on Tuesday.
The Jammu & Kashmir Police said it had carried out an operation based on a tip-off.
“During a search, a huge cache of arms and ammunition, including 10 pistols, 17 pistol magazines, 54 pistol rounds and five grenades, were recovered from Hajam Mohallah, Taad Karnah. Apparently the new consignment was being smuggled for militant activities in the Kashmir valley,” the police said.
