Srinagar (NVI): Jammu and Kashmir police today booked two students for not revealing their travel history to coronavirus affected countries.
The two south Kashmir students have recently returned from Pakistan and Bangladesh and have concealed their travel history in order to evade the necessary quarantine process, police said.
