J-K: Chargesheet filed against LeT terrorist

The Jammu and Kashmir police on Thursday filed a charge sheet in the case pertaining to arrest of a LeT terrorist, Zubair Shabir Bhat, who was involved in a conspiracy to launch a grenade attack on security forces in Ganderbal last year. Bhat was arrested in a joint operation by forces in December last year after the planned attack was foiled.

"During preliminary investigation, the accused revealed that the grenade carried by him was given by a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist named Owais Malik with the instructions to lob it on security forces for weapon snatching in Ganderbal district," police said in a statement. "After the conclusion of the investigation, charge sheet was filed before a special court in Srinagar under relevant sections of law by police after obtaining necessary government sanction for prosecution," police added.
