In multiple raids, Awantipora Police along with Army and CRPF arrested six youth who were "motivated and indoctrinated" to join terrorist ranks, a police spokesman said. They were motivated by Pakistan based self-style terror commanders to join terrorism and asked to establish contact with their ground cadre in Awantipora and Tral area.
The six have been identified as Aqib Ahmad Dobi, resident of Tral, Mufeez Ahmad Zargar, resident of Tral-e-Payeen, Liyaqat Ahmhqad Khanday alias Amir, resident of Amlar Tral, Saifullah Ahmad Shah, resident of Takiya Gulab Bagh Tral, Shoaib Ahmad Bhat, resident of Chersoo Awantipora and Bilal Ahmad Zaboo, resident of Tral-e-Bala.
The arrested terror associates were involved in providing logistics, shelter, transporting of arms or ammunition and other kinds of support to terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammad in Tral and Awantipora areas. "They were in touch with Pak based self style terror commanders through different social media platforms. Incriminating material recovered from them," the police said.
A case has been registered and investigation has been initiated. (ANI)
