3 Detained For Alleged Links With Hizbul Mujahideen In Jammu And Kashmir

The trio, Touseef-ul-Nabi, Zahoor-ul-Hassan and Reyaz Ahmad, were taken into custody under the law that allows detention without charge or trial for up to two years in some cases on the recommendations of the police, they said.

Senior superintendent of police (SSP), Kishtwar, Khalil Poswal said the three are “hardcore” operatives and named in various cases registered in different police stations. “Due to their continued engagement in anti-national activities and role in motivating local youths to join banned (terrorist) organisations, the imposition of the PSA was deemed necessary,” the SSP said.

Poswal said the operation to detain the three was executed meticulously after obtaining PSA orders from the competent authority.
