The body of a Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) terrorist was recovered from the upper reaches of the Chenab Valley’s Doda district, the Jammu & Kashmir Police said on Saturday (September 12, 2026).

A police spokesman said the police Special Operations Group (SOG), the Army’s Rashtriya Rifles (RR) and the CRPF “retrieved the remains of a Pakistani Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist”.

The police said the terrorist was neutralised earlier in a joint operation. “A night-enabled M4 rifle has also been recovered,” the police said.

The Jammu & Kashmir Police have stepped up area domination and patrolling of the upper reaches of the Chenab Valley. The move came in the wake of the tactics changed by terrorists in 2020. They would use the upper reaches to hide and carry out attacks on the security forces in the Jammu region.
