- Raids tied to an interstate module linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind led to multiple arrests, including doctors connected to Al-Falah in Faridabad, and the seizure of roughly 2,900 kg of explosive material.
- CCTV and route analysis reconstructed an 11-hour trail for the Hyundai i20, including a three-hour stop near Sunehri Masjid; a man from Pulwama who supplied the car, Tariq, has been arrested.
