The Punjab Police have arrested two people with links to the Pakistani terror group Hizb-ul-Mujahideen.
Cash along with drugs was recovered from both the accused who were arrested from Gurudas.
According to the police, both the accused worked for the arrested Hizbul terrorist Hilal Ahmed. Ahmed is said to be closely associated with Hizbul commander Riaz Naiku.
The sources state that the killing of Riyaz Naiku was a great success as he was the prime financier for other Hizbul operatives.
Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Awantipora eliminated top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen commander Riyaz Naikoo on Wednesday.
The operation began on Tuesday night after the forces received a tip-off about the presence of Naikoo in the area.
As per the information, Naikoo was the Hizbul Mujahideen Chief in Kashmir and was categorized as A++ in the security forces' list of Top Militant Commanders in Valley. He is reported to be one of the most dreaded Hizbul Commanders operating in Kashmir.
The terrorist promoted Pakistani propaganda and was a supporter of Pakistan in Kashmir. He was involved in several murder cases, including the murder of policemen. Naikoo had also released many videos and audios threatening informers and local policemen to stay away from anti-militancy operations.
He was also said to have massive support of Over Ground Workers (OGWs).
Naikoo was born in April 1985 in Beighpora village of Awantipora tehsil in Pulwama district and picked up the gun at the age of 33. He was a mathematics teacher in a private school.
