NEW DELHI:

According to an official statement, the chargesheet was filed before an NIA special court in Jammu against Waheed Ul Zahoor, the driver of the vehicle from which the seizures were made on June 30 and another accused Mubashir Maqbool Mir.

Both the accused were in contact with their Pakistan-based HM handlers, the NIA said in a statement.

The seizure of the explosives, arms and other incriminating material took place on June 30 at a 'naka' (check point) set up by security forces at Machipora in Baramula district. The security personnel signalled the vehicle to stop but Waheed tried to flee and was nabbed, the NIA said, adding a search of his car led to the seizure.
