The police say they will probe if the arrested terrorists were behind the plan to spread panic among village leaders.
Srinagar: Three Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists have been arrested from Kulgam in Kashmir for allegedly threatening village sarpanchs. They were being questioned for further role in spreading panic among sarpanchs in south Kashmir.
Kashmir saw a flurry of protests by sarpanchs in September 2012. The sarpanchs demanded gun licenses to protect themselves in the wake of murders of two local body leaders in two weeks.
Nearly 140 sarpanchs had resigned and almost an equal number demanded that they be issued gun licenses till the time the state government does not take concrete steps to deal with the menace.
