Ahmed was allegedly involved in providing logistical support to terror groups and acted as a guide and facilitator for these organisations, they added.

The authorities cited strong evidence and past records to confirm his role in aiding and assisting terror groups.

Considering the threat posed by his activities, Ahmed was detained under the PSA and sent to jail, the officials said. Meanwhile, the police have arrested three persons under the PSA for their alleged involvement in criminal and anti-national activities in Jammu and Kathua districts.
