Search operations launched after suspected terrorist movement in Rajouri, Udhampur
Another search operation is underway at Chigli Keya village in Udhampur, the officials said
Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir initiated search operations on October 4, 2026, in the forested regions of Rajouri and Udhampur districts, following reports of suspected terrorist movement in the area. According to officials, three individuals suspected of being terrorists abducted a local villager, Anil Sudan, near his residence in Upper Lardia, Sunderbani sector of Rajouri, on the night of October 3, 2026.
Sudan was eventually released around 3:15 a.m. after the suspects used him as a guide to reach the Dua Khad forest. Police and the Army responded promptly to the incident and commenced a combing operation to locate the suspected terrorists. As of now, no contact has been established with the suspects. In addition to Rajouri, a search operation is also being carried out in Chigli Keya village of Udhampur district.
This comes in the wake of a September 17 encounter in the Majalta area of Udhampur, where two Pakistani terrorists were killed, and another was injured but managed to flee.
