SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir police on Wednesday arrested two constables in south Kashmir's Shopian district for supplying ammunition to terror group Hizbul Mujahideen.
Constables Shabir Ahmad Malik and Nazir Ahmed Najar supplied nearly 40 rounds of ammunition to terrorists in south and central Kashmir. They were arrested along with another HM militant, police sources said. Malik was posted at Ganderbal and Najar at district police lines of Shopian.
Director General of Police (DGP) S P Vaid complimented the cops for busting an "unholy nexus" between policemen and militants by arresting the accused.
"We have zero tolerance for such acts and we will ensure strict and a quick punishment for the guilty," Vaid said, adding that the strong in-house surveillance helped in tracking the accused.
Sources said the HM worker was identified as Adil Ahmad Negroo, a close associate of active militant Waseem Wagay. Police recovered 20 rounds of AK ammunition from his possession.
