A Pakistani terrorist, who was operating in Srinagar for more than a year, has been arrested by the security forces on Wednesday. 

The terrorist, identified as Mohammad Waqar, crossed the border in July 2017 and wanted to resurrect militancy in the Baramulla district. 

Senior Superintendent of Police Abdul Qayoom said that Waqar was a resident of Mohalla Miana, Mianwai, in Pakistan's Punjab.

The police also revealed that Waqar joined the Lashkar-e-Taiba after he was told that Muslims are being subjugated in Kashmir, so much so that they are not allowed to offer Namaz there.
