Uttar Pradesh Police detained two suspected Kashmiri men, Shaukat Ali and Sajjad from Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, in Bareilly’s Dhimri village on December 27, 2025, following villagers’ complaints on December 26 about their suspicious begging and evasive behavior, including blending into crowds during namaz. The duo, who arrived in Bareilly on December 10 and resided at a local mosque, prompted swift action from Izzatnagar SHO Bijendra Singh and the Local Intelligence Unit (LIU), with photos and Aadhaar details forwarded to J&K Police for verification as of December 28-29. From an Indian strategic lens, this incident underscores heightened vigilance against potential infiltration amid Poonch’s border volatility, reinforcing community-driven security to counter terror threats and ensure internal stability.
