Security forces recovered Pakistani currency notes and a slip containing several Pakistani mobile phone numbers during a search operation in the Mendhar sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Thursday.
Officials said the recovery was made by a Road Opening Party (ROP) of 118 Territorial Army during an area domination and search operation conducted near Bhattaduriyan along National Highway-144A.
During the operation, personnel recovered Pakistani currency notes along with a handwritten slip bearing multiple mobile phone numbers believed to be from Pakistan.
The recovered material was subsequently taken into possession by the security forces for further examination and analysis.
Officials said the discovery has prompted a thorough investigation to determine the provenance of the recovered material and examine whether it has any connection with cross-border activities or other security-related concerns. [KNT]
