Security forces have unearthed a module of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terror group by arresting three people in north Kashmir's Baramulla district, police said today.
Baramulla police, assisted by other security forces, busted the module which has been active in the area to lure young boys to terrorism, senior superintendent of police (SSP) Baramulla, Imtiyaz Hussain Mir said.
He said the module was being spearheaded by Hizbul terrorist Parvez Wani alias Mubashir, a resident of Gagloora Handwara in north Kashmir's Kupwara district.
Three people have been arrested by police - Ansarullah Tantaray, resident of Raipora, Palhalan, Abdul Rashid Bhat, resident of Minipora, Sopore and Mehrajuddin Kak, resident of Andargami, Pattan - all in Baramulla district, Mr Mir said.
He said the module had plans to send many boys to Pakistan on valid visas to get them trained in terror camps of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
"One of the accused Abdul Rashid Bhat had visited Pakistan in the month of May this year and obtained training for undertaking terrorist activities in Khalid bin Waleed camp of HM located in PoK," he said.
Mr Mir said Bhat got the visa from Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi on the recommendation of a separatist organization.
