Srinagar, Sep 13: Jammu and Kashmir police today claimed to have arrested an Over Ground Worker (OGW), who allegedly was motivating young boys to join Hizbul Mujahideen, in north Kashmir district of Baramulla.
      A police spokesperson told UNI that following specific inputs, a wanted OGW, Ishtiaq Ahmed Wani, who was at large, was today arrested in Baramulla.
      “Wani, a resident of Goushbugh Pattan, used to motivate and recruit youth for HM,” he added.
