SIA Kashmir Arrests Absconding Narco-Terror Operative After Four Years

In a place called Kashmir, there are special police officers called the State Investigation Agency.

They investigate serious crimes like smuggling and terrorism.

For almost four years, they were looking for a man named Manoj Kumar Bhat, also called Pintu.

He was hiding because police said he helped bring drugs across a border line called the Line of Control.

The police believe the money from selling those drugs was used to pay for terrorism.

Finally, the police caught him in the city of Jammu.

They found drugs like heroin and poppy straw at his home.

The police say this arrest is a big step in stopping the drug and terror network.

Some people in the area are happy, but they say the police must keep working so drugs stop reaching young people.
