Jammu and Kashmir police claim stone-pelters’ nexus with Lashkar-e-Taiba

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police claimed on Sunday to have unearthed a nexus between stone-throwers and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in south Kashmir.

They said they busted two modules of LeT and arrested nine people who were instigating youths to pelt stones.

“Our investigation shows that LeT divisional commander for south Kashmir Abdul Rehman alias Rehman Bhai was directly involved in fomenting stone-pelting,” Shafaqat Watali, deputy inspector general (DIG) of police  (south Kashmir range), said.

The lid was blown off when police arrested Showkat Ahmad Dar.
