Srinagar: A Hizbul Mujahideen who was involved in the killing of an RSS functionary and his PSO, was arrested by National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, officials said on Wednesday.
The terrorist has been identified as Rustam Ali and was named in a chargesheet filed by the NIA in the killing of RSS activist Chander Kant Sharma and his Personal Security Officer in April last year, the officials said.
In a similar case, Jammu and Kashmir Police had on September 23 last year arrested Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists – Nissar Ahmed Sheikh, Nishad Ahmed and Azad Hussain – in connection with the murder cases of a senior BJP leader and an RSS functionary in the region.
