Srinagar: Militant out
Lashkar Toiba has warned people of Batapora Sopore in North Kashmir to refrain
from spreading drug menace and waywardness in the area and has mentioned at
least the names of 18 persons who according to the outfit are indulging in
liquor trade, gambling and drug peddling.
“People of
Batapora Sopore should know that it is the centre of Freedom struggle but
unfortunately it has become the hub of waywardness while tasting liquor, taking
drugs and gambling has become the pastime for some people among them few are
known as respectable citizens. We warn them of dire consequences in case they
do not mend themselves,” handwritten posters of ‘Mujahideen Lashkar Toiba’
warned.
The posters,
appearing at many places in Batapora hamlet of Sopore town mentioned the names
of 18 persons and the activities they allegedly indulge in. “We appeal people
to cooperate with us and help us in clearing this ‘dirt’ in the area and we
warn these people of dire consequences in case they do not mend themselves,”
the posters read.
“We are
investigating the matter and it is too premature to say whether these posters
are genuine or just a prank,” a senior police officer said. (CNS)
