Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Apr 19: Police today termed a news item on social media pages as fake and misleading in which it was said that a student of Darul Aloom at Tawheed Gunj in Baramulla has joined militant ranks.
A Police spokesman said that fake content is being carried through various social media pages which reads that a teenager identified as Tanveer Ahmad  Kasana (18 years old) son of Mohammed Younis Kasana, student of Darul Aloom Tawheed Gunj Baramulla is missing from the Darul Aloom since Apr 14 and his gun-wielding photograph has gone viral on internet.
He said the news item is absolutely fake and is rebutted on the grounds that the person whose photograph is being circulated is an SPO (Special Police Officer) identified as Bilal Ahmad Mir son of Mohammad Rustam Mir, a resident of Harduchunam Rafiabad, Sopore who is presently posted at DPL Sopore.
“So the news item along with it’s pictorial contents is absolutely fake and misleading. Strict action will be taken against the mischief/rumour mongers who are causing fear and horror in the society and are trying to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the valley,” he said.
