Syed Amin Jafri in Hyderabad
The Hyderabad City Police has arrested eight Kashmiri youth, suspected to have connections with the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.
City Police Commissioner P Ramulu said the suspects were arrested on Tuesday night after the city police launched a special operation on receiving information about their presence in the city.
"We got reports that a group of Kashmiri students have regular links with militant outfits in Kashmir. We launched a state-wide hunt and found them in Hyderabad. Right now they are being interrogated," he said.
Sources, however, indicated that the entire operation was planned by a team from Delhi police.
The arrested are mostly students who are pursuing their education in various colleges.
