"Mr Talib Hussain Shah, at Draj Kotranka, Budhan, District Rajouri, shall be the new IT & Social Media In-charge BJP Minority Mocha, Jammu Province, with immediate effect," the order reads. Moreover, Shah has several pictures with senior BJP leaders, including J&K president Ravindra Raina. Two AK-47 assault rifles, a pistol, seven grenades and a large quantity of ammunition were recovered from the arrested duo. The arrest of the duo followed the unearthing of a module headed by Hussain in Rajouri district on June 28, which was behind the recent series of explosions in the district.
