The J&K police, meanwhile, arrested on Wednesday a mother and her daughter on charges of inciting violence after Monday’s encounter at Wanbal, in Srinagar’s Rangreth area.

Official sources said Afrooza and her daughter Aisha were arrested on charges of raising anti-national slogans and inciting violence in the aftermath of the Rangreth shootout and that miscreants thereafter hurled stones and blocked the road. They said the two women were arrested and later shifted to the women’s police station at Rambagh after the completion of legal formalities.

A police officer confirmed that a case under FIR No. 209/2021 was registered against the miscreants for creating a law and order situation after the Rangreth shootout in which two Lashkar terrorists, one of them a Pakistani, were killed.
