The Government Forces raided the Kanjullar area in South Kashmir’s Shopian District late night on Wednesday and arrested at least five boys from the area.
Locals speaking to The Kashmiriyat said that Government Forces late night on Kanjulla broke into a few residential houses in this Shopian locality and arrested five boys from their houses.
The arrested have been identified as Farooq Ahmad Bhat, Mohsin Rashid Lone, Showkat Ahmad Thockar and Azad Ahmad Itoo.
The Government Forces have been conducting nocturnal raids in Kashmir since 2010 when an uprising began in the aftermath of killing of a teenage boy Tufail Ahmed Matoo and thousands of boys have been arrested from their houses in the dark of the night.
Sources in the Police said that the boys have been arrested for their role in stone throwing.
