Kulgam, Nov 13, KNT: A student from South Kashmir’s Kulgam, MSc in Lab Science, has been detained by the Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) for allegedly spreading radical views and instigating public sentiment against the Indian government on social media.
According to CIK, Navidul Ali Bhat, a resident of the Tazipora-Muhammadpora village of Kulgam was using social media platforms to promote radical propaganda, encouraging people to join militant ranks and glorifying militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.
The CIK revealed that Ali was in constant contact with online entities radicalizing and motivating youth to join militant groups. Additionally, he was consuming radical content online and was suspected to be on the verge of joining the militant ranks himself.
