According to a police spokesperson, some “miscreants” from Samboora had shouted anti-national slogans and attempted to disrupt state forces by pelting stones on them near Kakpora when the encounter in the area was going on. The miscreants, he said, were video graphed on spot and later on identified by police.
“Acting swiftly police station Pampore arrested 10 identified miscreants and booked them under relevant sections of law. Efforts are on for the arrest of others involved persons and they will be booked accordingly,” he said.
Warning stern action against the stone pelters, the police spokesperson said that these incidents will not be tolerated and parents should refrain their children from indulging in such activities.
