India Nov 29, 2025

A tense situation unfolded in Basantgarh, Udhampur (J&K), after three suspected terrorists reportedly showed up at a Bakerwal family's home and asked for food.
The homeowner managed to escape and quickly alerted police, kicking off a large-scale search involving multiple security agencies.

What's happening now:

Basantgarh sits on a route often used by militants crossing over from Pakistan, so security is tight.
The Army, J&K Police, and CRPF have locked down the area with drones and sniffer dogs as they hunt for the suspects.
Locals have been asked to stay indoors and report anything unusual while forces work to secure the area and track down those involved.
