Srinagar: Three terrorists involved in the killing of a BJP leader in Kishtwar and weapon snatching in Jammu and Kashmir have been arrested by the security forces.
“In pursuance to a focused effort carried out by Kishtwar police, the CRPF, Army and NIA team, to solve Kishtwar killings and weapon snatching, we have been able to arrest three persons involved in these cases,” the police said on Monday.
The police statement said that the conspiracy was initially hatched in 2016-2017 between Mohammad Amin alias Jahangir Saroori, Osama Haroon, Nissar Ahmed Sheikh and others to revive militancy in the Chenab valley under the banner of Pakistan based terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.
Hizbul terrorist commander Saroori, Haroon, Zahid and Sheikh were involved in the killing of BJP leader Anil Parihar in Kishtwar in October 2018.
