Kashmiri youth arrested in New Delhi for suspicious movement

NEW DELHI — A youth hailing from central Kashmir’s Budgam district has been arrested by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) while roaming in suspicious condition outside Parliament House here in New Delhi, media reports said on Wednesday.

Reports said that the youth was roaming around Delhi’s Vijay Chowk, when CRPF nabbed him on the allegations that he made a couple of rounds around the Parliament House.

Media reports said that two IDs were recovered from his possession. He was later handed over to Delhi Police for questioning.

Reports claimed that both the IDs have different names. While the driving license is in the name of one Firdaus, the name mentioned in the Aadhaar Card is Manzoor Ahmad Ahanger. A bag has also been found from him.

The man hails from Rathsoon Beerwah in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir.

According to the CRPF officials, the arrested person has been changing his statements which aroused further suspicion about him.

First, he said that he had come to Delhi in 2016. Then he said that he had come to the national capital during the coronavirus-induced lockdown. He told the CRPF officials that he has been staying in Delhi since then. The man, whose identity is not clear yet, said that he first stayed in Jamia locality, then near the Jama Masjid area in Nizamuddin.
