SRINAGAR, Dec 2: Police arrested student-turned militant Ehtisham Bilal from his Khanyar residence on Sunday.
A family member told Kashmir In-Depth that Ehtisham came to his home on Sunday.
“He is unwell. Blood was oozing out of his mouth. When he arrived here, police came within two minutes and took him away,” the family member said.
Earlier on November 3, a picture and an audio message, purportedly of Ehtisham Bilal, who went missing from Sharda University, Greater Noida went viral on social media in Kashmir.
In the picture, the person appears wearing black outfit with some weapons strapped to his body while a voice in the audio claims to be Ehtisham’s and announced his joining the militancy.
Ehtisham, a native of Khanyar in downtown Srinagar, had shifted to Greater Noida three months ago after enrolling in Sharda University and was living in the varsity’s hostel at the Knowledge Park area in Greater Noida.
On October 4, he was roughed up by a group of students who mistook him for an Afghan during a clash between Indian and Afghan students at Sharda University campus in Greater Noida. Police had lodged a first information report against 350 students of Sharda University for rioting.
