Man arrested for controversial social media post on Pahalgam

Bokaro: One person was arrested in Bokaro district on Wednesday for allegedly uploading a controversial social media post regarding the Pahalgam terror attack, police said.
The youth, identified as Mohammed Naushad, a resident of Millat Nagar, purportedly praised Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Taiba for the terror strike in a post on X, they added.
"He was arrested from Millat Nagar under the jurisdiction of the Balidih police station. We are interrogating him to find out his intent and possible links, if any," said Naveen Singh, the officer-in-charge of Balidih police station.
Terrorists struck a prime tourist location at Baisaran meadows near Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Tuesday, killing 26 people, mostly tourists.
The 31-year-old claims to be an "Islamic lawyer and bold orator" on his social media profile. Reports suggest that Naushad used to post controversial content online, raising concerns about his activities and motivations.
Condemning the attack, chief minister Hemant Soren posted on X, "The cowardly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir is shocking. May the soul of the deceased rest in peace, and give the bereaved families the strength to bear this difficult time of grief. I pray for the speedy recovery of those injured in the attack."
