A militant was injured in a shootout with the security forces in north Kashmir’s Kupwara on Friday.
“One militant, identified as Abrar Hassan, a resident of Azad Gunj in Baramulla, was arrested in an injured condition at Langate area of Handwara in north Kashmir’s Kupwara after a brief shootout,” a police spokesman said.
The police said Hassan had recently joined militancy. Hassan, according to the police, was a habitual stone-pelter and faced several FIRs “before working as an over ground worker and later joining the militant fold recently”.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
