Srinagar (NVI): Two youths from south Kashmir have been prevented from joining militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, the police said today.
The duo, hailing from Tral and Awantipora areas, was planning to join militant ranks, they said.
“Acting on a specific input, police in Awantipora were able to prevent two youth from joining the militant ranks. These youths had been indoctrinated and were influenced by the false narratives,” said a spokesman.
Awantipora police counselled the youth in presence of their family members thereby preventing them from joining the militant ranks, the spokesman said adding that both the youths were handed over to their family members.
Last month, Jammu and Kashmir police had arrested a class 10 student and prevented him from joining militancy in Central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.
