Chief Investigation Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Vishal Sharma, had approached the Special NIA Court for issuing non-bailable warrants against these accused for “their active involvement in terror activities for creating unrest in the Chenab Valley and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir.”
“They mobilised sleeper cells and pushed them into J&K in connivance with secessionist and separatist leaders for waging war against the Government of India with nefarious design of seceding Jammu and Kashmir from Union of India,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Kishtwar, Khalil Poswal said, in a statement.
