In a swift action, a youth from Bandipora, who announced he was joining the Lashkar–e–Taiba (LeT) on social media on April 13, was arrested by the security forces, the J&K police said on Monday.
The newly recruited militant was captured from an orchard in Lawaypora, Bandipora, on Sunday, the police said. The arrest followed a specific input generated about the missing youth. He was identified as Amir Tariq Khan, son of Tariq Ahmad Khan.
Four days ago, the picture of Khan, who had also assumed an alias ‘Waleed’, with a pro–Lashkar and anti–India slogan, went viral on social media.
