Amid escalating tension on the border, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) police arrested a milkman-turned-spy of Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) from the Ramgarh sector on Saturday. Besides, the security forces busted a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) module and arrested two militants involved in the attack on an army convoy in north Kashmir's Baramulla district.

Police sources said milkman Bodh Raj (42) was arrested on the basis of specific intelligence inputs regarding his espionage activities along the International Border (IB). Police recovered two Pakistani SIM cards, two mobile phones, a memory card and maps showing movement and deployment of the security forces.

Sources said Bodh Raj, a resident of Arnia, was under surveillance for the last four months. "Once we were confident that he was involved in espionage, we arrested him. He developed some health complications and was rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with typhoid," said a police officer.

"He was passing on vital information to Pakistan regarding troop deployment and movement," said another officer. Police are also interrogating him for his possible role in facilitating infiltration from across the border.

Meanwhile, security forces busted a JeM module and arrested two top ultras — Safeer Ahmad Bhat and Farhaan Fayaz Liloo — in a joint operation by the police, army and CRPF at Baramulla.

"This Jaish module is headed by a Pakistani terrorist, operating by the code name of Khalid. This module, along with the arrested duo, was involved in a terrorist attack on army and police convoy on August 16, in which two army men and one policeman were killed," said Imtiyaz Hussain, SSP Baramulla.
