The Delhi Police arrested wanted Hizbul Mujahideen member Javed Mattu in New Delhi on Thursday.
Mattu has been associated with multiple terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. He is wanted by security agencies for the past 13 years and carries a 10 lakh reward on his head. He was in the Delhi NCR region allegedly to collect arms and ammunition, which were to be used for a series of terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, said Special Commissioner of Police Special Cell H.G.S.
