Srinagar,(DD): In a major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism, Srinagar Police have filed a chargesheet against seven terror associates under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in a local court.

These sections pertain to unlawful activities, conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, membership in terrorist organizations, and illegal possession of arms and ammunition.
According to official sources, eight individuals were involved in the case, including a Pakistani terrorist operating under the code name Usman, who was killed in an encounter with security forces.
