Jammu: A 25-year-old Bihar resident was arrested for his alleged links with militants in Jammu and Kashmir and was brought here on transit remand for questioning on Saturday, police said.
Javaid Alam Ansari's name surfaced during questioning of Lashkar-e-Mustafa (LeM) chief Hidayatullah Malik and was arrested from his house at Deobahuara village in Chapra on Monday night, a police official said.
Malik, a resident of Shopian, was arrested from the Kunjwani area of Jammu on February 6. He had formed LeM, an offshoot of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit, in August last year.
Ansari was arrested from his house on Monday night by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Patna after it came to light that he had links with Malik and had supplied pistols to him, the official said.
