SRINAGAR: As many as 40 terrorists and their sympathisers including Pakistani national Zia Mustafa involved in the 2003 Nadimarg massacre of Kashmiri pandits were shifted today from the central jail here to prisons outside the Valley, a step taken after the dramatic escape of LeT’s Mohammed Naveed Jhatt from a hospital earlier this month.
The Jammu and Kashmir prison department chalked out a list of these terrorists and sympathisers in the central jail and immediately a movement order for shifting them was initiated, officials said here.
Three Pakistani terrorists including Mustafa, who was accused of killing 24 Kashmiri pandits at Nadimarg in 2003, were among those shifted to various jails outside the Kashmir Valley, they said. (AGENCIES)
