“Around 4,000 individuals have been arrested and 170 convictions have been secured,” Prabhat said, adding that more than 2,500 cases have already been disposed off.<\/p>\n
In terms of property attachments, Jammu and Kashmir currently ranks number one across India, with 288 properties attached.<\/p>\n

“Police continuously works to foil the nefarious designs of our hostile neighbour through counter-terror operations. The month of September has been a time of immense pride, marked by numerous operational achievements. In addition to counter-terror operations, we have made strong progress in crime prevention, criminal detection, and maintaining law and order,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
