Man Nabbed For Helping Pahalgam Terrorists Met Them 4 Times, Gave Phone Charger

Officials said that the accused, who taught nomadic students in the higher reaches, had been a key resource for the terror group.

Srinagar: Mohammad Yousuf Katari, an Over Ground Worker (OGW) arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police, had met the terrorists involved in the April 22 Pahalgam attack four times and handed them an Android phone charger, a key evidence which ultimately led to his arrest, officials here said on Sunday.

Katari, 26, was arrested in the last week of September for allegedly providing crucial logistical support to Sulieman alias Asif, Jibran, and Hamza Afghani, the three terrorists who gunned down 26 people, mostly tourists, in the resort town of Pahalgam.
