(PTI): The Jammu and Kashmir police today busted a Lashkar-e-Taiba module by arresting four members of the outfit wanted in many killings and other militancy-related incidents, a police spokesman said here. The four -- Shamasuddin Rather, Latief Ahmed Bhat, Mohammad Waseem Bhat and Mohammad Yasin Mir -- were arrested from Sopore area of Baramulla district and a Chinese pistol, its one magazine and combat uniforms were recovered from their possession, the spokesman said. Terming the arrest of the four as a "major breakthrough", he said, the militants were involved in the October 8 killing of a dentist Dr Mushtaq of Zachaldara. They had also set his car afire and looted cash from him. The captured militants were also allegedly involved in an attack on Sopore police camp and setting on fire a beauty parlour in the area, the spokesman said. He said, the ultras were indoctrinating young boys into militancy on the behest of LeT commander Showkat Ahmed Najar alias Munna Janwari of Bhatpora-Sopore.
Of late, the ultras have started "outsourcing" militant actions to school dropouts, juvenile delinquents or those addicted to drugs or liquor, the spokesman said. Two days ago, the police had recovered a large consignment of arms and ammunition of LeT from river Jhelum which included 37 grenades, ten magazines and 300 rounds of ammunition, he said.
