One more Pulwama youth ‘joins militancy’

Srinagar: One more youth from south Kashmir’s Pulwama district announced on social media his joining of militant ranks and to be part of the Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit.

Muzamil Dar son of Ghulam Nabi Dar, hailing from Rahmoo village has reportedly joined militancy. His picture with AK-47 has gone viral on social media. His code name as per the picture is Abu Jundel.

Station House Officer (SHO) Rajpora Sheikh Manzoor told GNS that a missing report was filed by his family on May 7.

However, SHO said that the family has also stated that the picture in which Muzamil is being shown to wield the gun is ‘edited’.

We are investigating and it would be premature to conclude that the youth has joined the militant outfit.

“We are ascertaining the authenticity of the picture and are investigating it from other angles and it would be premature to conclude that the youth has joined the militant ranks,” the official said.

On Friday, two youths Zubair Ahmad Bhat of Chursoo, Awantipora and Ashiq Hussain Ganaie of Panjran, Pulwama had announced their joining with the militant outfit. (GNS)
