J-K Police refute reports of Pulwama youth joining militant ranks

PULWAMA — Jammu and Kashmir Police have vehemently refuted the reports about a Pulwama student joining militant ranks, saying action will be initiated against those miscreants who used the photographs of that student to make false claims.

Pertinently, photographs of a local identified as Gowhar Nabi from Shangarpora village of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district had gone viral with the claim that he has joined the militant ranks.

Police said that upon investigation, it was found that the said person hasn’t joined any militant group and is currently pursuing B.Sc Cardiology at a college in Bathinda Punjab. The said person has also recorded a video clip, rebutting the claims.

Pulwama Police has also initiated an inquiry into the matter to identify and arrest those who shared his pictures on social media with false allegations of him joining militant ranks.

Police have warned the miscreants to refrain from sharing any such content that is malicious and insinuating.
