Four AK-56 and two AK-47 rifles, six magazines, and 180 live rounds have been recovered along with Rs 11,000 cash from them," said Sridhar Patil, Superintendent of Police, Kathua.

Patil said that there is a module under which the JeM terror outfit supplies arms and ammunition to the terrorists operating in Kashmir valley.
