Jammu: A Lashker-e-Toiba militant has been arrested and electronic gadgets, including a laptop, recovered from his possession, the police said on Saturday.

The police raided the house of Shabir Ahmed alias Pappu in Sabra village on Friday night and recovered a laptop and pen drive from his possession, they said. The laptop recovered from Pappu originally belonged to slain LeT divisional commander Abu Umar, the police said, adding Umar was involved in the killing of Deputy Superintendent of Police Shelly Singh.
