  "account": "Security forces arrested two individuals suspected of ties to terrorist activities in a forest area of Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. The operation, coordinated by police, the Army, and CRPF, led to the seizure of a pistol, 12 pistol rounds, and a hand grenade from the suspects. The apprehended individuals, identified as Latif Ahmad Deedad and Aejaz Ahmad Bajad, were found emerging from the Yarwan forest towards CB Nath village in a suspicious manner. Acting on intelligence, a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) was initiated, resulting in the arrest of the two individuals. The suspects have been charged under the Arms Act and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and an investigation is underway to further probe their activities and linkages within the terror network. This arrest follows closely on the heels of the previous day's apprehension of three other suspected overground workers of terrorists in Shopian district.",
