Authorities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) have initiated a significant crackdown on the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), a group previously declared unlawful. Over the past day, police have apprehended approximately 72 individuals associated with the JAAC, confiscating weapons, communication devices, and documents deemed suspicious. Officials stated these items suggest plans to disrupt public order and potentially influence electoral processes.
The operation follows a period of heightened tension in the Poonch district, where a trader, Shahzeb Habib, died from a gunshot wound during an alleged confrontation with law enforcement.
