A terrorist hideout was busted after Shah revealed the presence of a hideout in his Draj village of Rajouri during questioning and accordingly a raid was carried out, the official said on Monday. He said the search of the hideout led to the recovery of six sticky bombs, a pistol, three pistol magazines, 19 pistol rounds, an Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), three UBGL grenades, 75 rounds of AK assault rifle and one IED remote with antenna.
