Indicating that Kashmiri militants have spread their network in western Uttar Pradesh, police have seized a film roll containing 36 photographs of suspected terrorists, hideouts and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir training camps from a studio in Muzaffarnagar district.

Police sealed the studio, arresting its owner and associate, on Thursday to ascertain if they had any links with the militants. During interrogation, they disclosed that the film was delivered by a woman from Deoband, Meerut, Range Inspector-General of Police V K Sharma said.

They identified her as Vandana and a hunt was on for her, he said, adding that all the film rolls had been seized and were being examined by intelligence agencies. Some of the photos seized show militants against a hilly backdrop with AK-47 assault rifles in hand and carrying wireless sets while others were suspected to be of terrorist training camps in PoK.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil had stated in Parliament on Wednesday that there were intelligence reports indicating a growing presence of Kashmiri militants in western UP.
