Security agencies in Shopian have arrested ten individuals suspected of channelling funds to terrorist organisations through an organised financing module, officials said. The breakthrough came after police conducted a detailed analysis of online transactions conducted via multiple digital payment platforms, uncovering a coordinated network of associates supporting detained extremists.
The investigation revealed that the arrested individuals maintained financial connections with terrorists currently lodged in different jails across the region. Police traced the flow of funds through various banking channels and digital wallets, establishing a clear link between the suspects and the imprisoned militants they were supporting.
The arrests represent a significant step in countering the financial infrastructure that sustains terrorist networks in Kashmir. Authorities have intensified crackdowns on terror financing channels in recent months, focusing on both traditional money transfer routes and modern digital payment systems used to circumvent detection.
Police have registered cases against all ten accused under relevant provisions related to terror financing and are conducting further investigations to identify additional members of the network and trace the complete fund flow.
