Reports of the arrest come amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, that killed 25 tourists — including one Nepalese national and a local guide. The attack, reportedly orchestrated by Pakistan-based terror outfits, drew widespread condemnation.

In response, India launched “Operation Sindoor,” a retaliatory military offensive that targeted nine terror camps across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and within Pakistani territory. The strikes have escalated diplomatic and military strain between the two nations.
