Six held over killing of migrant labourer in J&K, say police

The Jammu and Kashmir police said on Wednesday that a shop linked to a militant had been sealed. He was among six arrested for the killing of a migrant labourer in south Kashmir’s Bijbehara in May this year.

“Six terrorists have been arrested. The arrested terrorists were linked to the Kashmir Freedom Fighter, an offshoot of terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad [JeM]. A shop under the name, The Game Modification, in Zirpara Bijbehara, run by accused Umer Amin Thoker was used for the terror attack,” the police said.

A spokesman said the shop had been attached under Section 25 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) by the Anantnag police.
