Jammu and Kashmir: 10 arrested in Srinagar for trying to vitiate peaceful atmosphere outside Jamia Masjid
Jammu and Kashmir Police have arrested ten persons for allegedly trying to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere outside the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar on Friday.
Srinagar Police said the ten persons shall be booked under the relevant section of law.
“10 Hooligans arrested for trying to vitiate peaceful atmosphere outside Jamia Masjid yesterday after Friday prayers.
They shall be booked under the relevant section of law," Srinagar Police said in a post on X. " Public is requested not to indulge in such acts failing which law will take its own course.”
On Friday, Kashmiri separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who was released after over four years of house detention, delivered the first sermon at the grand mosque after the J&K special status was scrapped in August 2019.
There was a charged atmosphere inside Jamia Masjid Srinagar on Friday and pro-separatist slogans were also reportedly raised outside the mosque by a group of people.
After the conclusion of Friday prayers, the officials said congregational prayers at Jamia Masjid Srinagar concluded peacefully.
