Who is GV Sundeep Chakravarthy, IPS Officer who foiled ‘Big Plot’ Behind Jaish’s Poster Campaign in Srinagar, he is from…. News24 –
A host of suspicious posters pasted along the walls of Srinagar startled the instincts of GV Sandeep Chakravarthy. His prompt actions in recognizing the acts soon led to the discovery of one of the biggest terror networks spread across several parts of India. The posters, which were put up by Jaish-e-Mohammed, had appeared on the streets of Nowgam Bunpiora in Srinagar, warning security forces of serious consequences.
While most locals ignored them, SSP GV Sudeep Chakravarthy, the Telugu IPS officer who led the investigation, recognized the threat that could be looming behind the posters. SSP Chakravarthy has had an illustrious career and is known for counter-terror operations, having earlier led the J&K police team that neutralized the three Pahalgam attackers in Operation Mahadev.
A Detailed Investigation
The prompt actions of the SSP to order a detailed investigation led to a case being filed under the UAPA, the Explosive Substances Act, and the Arms Act at the Mowgam Police Station.
When officers reviewed CCTV footage frame by frame, they were able to identify three miscreants who, upon cross-examination, mentioned Moulvi Irfan Ahmad from Shopian, who had been serving as the local imam since 2020.
The police searched Ahmad’s house and examined his digital devices, which revealed links to a much wider terror network. Working on these insights, the special team was soon able to track down and arrest Dr. Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, a doctor from Pulwama working at a medical college in Faridabad, for his suspected ties to the Jaish Group.
The breakthrough resulted in the arrests of several Kashmiri doctors and others involved in a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror module. The investigation also led to the discovery of explosives in significant quantities and AK-47 rifles. What seemed like ordinary posters to many ultimately revealed a scandalous network planning to terrorize the national capital.
