As the security forces and other intelligence agencies has tightened their belts to eliminate the menace of terrorism permanently from J&K by intensifying the anti-insurgency operation and tightening the security grid, the terrorists and their supporters presently present in J&K, are finding it hard to carry out their nefarious designs effectively. Moreover, due to various high-tech gadgets and scientific advancements in place by the security agencies, it has become far-difficult for the anti-national elements to even get instructions from their masters sitting across the border as the alert forces have always kept a stern vigil on all suspected conversations or chats on social media without any laxity. Looking at such stern action of the forces, it has been observed that now the terrorists have changed their modus operandi and using the data of somebody else to remain away from the radar of security forces. During an investigation of a terror attack held recently in Valley, a suspect was nabbed by the security forces as the detailed revealed that the Sim using which the attack was planned has been issued on his name but the suspect denied any involvement in such activity. He further revealed that he had purchased a Sim and handed it over to his fiancé along with a mobile after which she too was interrogated. During questioning, it came to fore that the woman too had not any connection with any terror activity but she accepted that another woman used to avail his data through hotspot quite often, who is presently absconding. Now, as per the police, people have been warned to remain aware from such activities as there are chances that some anti-national elements may use their data through hotspot for which the owner of the Sim will also be held guilty. Although the majority people at present own a smart-phone but there are very few who are fully aware of the features of smart-phone as the majority are quite ignorant about the same and didn’t know anything about password or safety features etc. Such type of innocent people especially in rural areas, can be easily targeted by the enemies of the nation by getting them involved in the anti-national activities by using their phone data without any knowledge to them.
