Three OGWs detained under PSA in Shopian

Jammu and Kashmir Police in Shopian have detained three alleged Over Ground Workers (OGWs) linked to terror organisations under the provisions of the Public Safety Act (PSA). The detained individuals have been identified as Owais Ahmad Lone of Sedow, Mashooq Ahmad Shah of Shahlatoo and Subzar Ahmad Gani of Check Choland, all residents of Shopian district.

“In a decisive move to ensure peace and security, Shopian police detained three OGWs under the PSA. Despite preventive action under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), they persisted in activities prejudicial to state security. They have been lodged at Central Jail Kot Bhalwal, Jammu,” an official said.

Considering their continued involvement in activities posing a threat to security, detention orders were obtained from the District Magistrate, Shopian, after completion of all legal formalities, the official said.
