Hizabul Mujahideen warned by unknown outfit for targeting police
Last week, a video message by Hizbul Mujahideen had warned all local policemen, especially SPOs, to resign. This was in reaction to J& K Police gaining an upper hand in anti terrorist operations.
A poster written in Urdu and videos surfaced in Jammu and Kashmir slamming the Hizbul Mujahideen for the death of three special police officers (SPOs). The poster is believed to be circulated by an unknown outfit, the Pulwama and Shopian Tigers, however, its authenticity has not been verified yet.
The poster has been addressed to Hizbul Mujahideen commander Riyaz Naikoo and asks him to clarify his stand on the killing of policemen. The poster has also warned of an uprising against Hizbul militants if they don’t stop targeting police personnel.
Calling the attack on innocent policemen ‘un-Islamic’, the poster and the video asks Naikoo that why is he not forcing the policemen to resign first as they are only working to feed their families.
