The picture has roused suspicion that militants in Kashmir indeed have destructive weapons at their disposal- ringing alarm bells amidst brass corridors.
The picture above, reportedly of a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant roaming in freely in Kashmir, with a rocket launcher on his shoulder has stirred the security agencies.
The viral picture has sent shockwaves among the security establishments in the Valley, as the militant identified as Shakoor Ahmad can be seen carrying two RPG (Rocket Projectile Gun) on his shoulders.
Shakoor, a Lashkar militant has been active in the Valley since 2015.
