After arresting three terrorists during a counter-insurgency operation in the Kund area of South Kashmir, the IGP (Kashmir) Munir Khan on Thursday said that Pakistan was aggressively misusing the social media to brainwash young boys and lure them towards terrorism.

Khan said that Pakistan was recruiting terrorists from Kashmir through social media campaign.

Addressing media on the operation, Khan said that one terrorist was injured and another killed during an encounter earlier this week in the forests of Kulgam district.

The operation against terrorists was launched on 14 November, in which one Army soldier died.

The IGP said that two more terrorists were believed to be still hiding in the forest area as a result of which the search operation by the security forces was continuing.

Khan identified the arrested terrorists as Atta Mohammad Malik, Shams-ul-Waqar and Bilal Sheikh. The injured terrorist, Malik, is undergoing treatment in the hospital.

Last month, the security forces had arrested three terrorists at different places of North and South Kashmir.

The Centre has made it clear that the anti-terrorist operations will continue despite the dialogue process with stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir and Centre-appointed interlocutor Dineshwar Sharma.
