The Union Home Ministry has designated 23 individuals based in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) as terrorists under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for their involvement in infiltration, recruitment, logistics, financing, and operational planning targeting India.
The Jammu and Kashmir high court has said that it had not imposed any ban on media coverage of the Shopian case involving the alleged rape-cum-murder of two women, and added that it would continue to monitor the case until "such time the mystery is resolved".
They ultras were wanted for their complicity in a series of terror crimes.
