Sources said the arrested associates of Qamer have divulged sensational information regarding the arrested Hizbul terrorist and also about his plans to expand Hizbul’s terror network in Assam.
Qamer-uz-Zaman, who had joined the Pakistani terrorist organization sometime in the latter half of 2017 and had posted a photograph of him with an AK-47 assault rifle claiming to have joined the terrorist organization, was arrested from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh by UP ATS on charges of planning terror strikes during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
Meanwhile, people in Jamunamukh from where Qamer-uz-Zaman hailed, took out a protest rally denouncing terror of any kind and demanding stringent punishment for anybody found to be involved in anti-national activities.
