SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Intelligence Wing Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) has taken down a terror recruitment network linked to the newly established group, Tehreek Labaik Ya Muslim (TLM), considered to be a splinter faction of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
A senior official of CIK told The New Indian that TLM was reportedly being directed by a Pakistani handler going by the alias ‘Baba Hamas.’

In a major morning raid, operations were carried out across multiple regions, including Srinagar, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kulgam, Budgam, Anantnag, and Pulwama, leading to the disruption of the recruitment ring.
The TLM group had been actively engaging youth to lure them into terrorist activities. The police explained that after the exposure of LeT’s previous offshoot, the Resistance Front (TRF), this new faction, TLM, was likely formed to maintain LeT’s influence in the region.
