A senior police officer told Srinagar-based news agency GNS that on the directions of Police Cyber Cell based in summer capital, the SOG raided two separate places in the district and arrested three
youths.
He identified arrested youths as Mushtaq Ahmed Kumar, Muhammad Adil Wani and Zakir Ahmed Malik. While Mushtaq and Adil were picked up from Piglina village, Zakir, who hails from Pakharpora, was arrested from Malikpora in the district.
