NEW DELHI: The Government today sought to downplay Islamic State’s presence in Jammu and Kashmir, but acknowledged the resurgence of a radical group in the Valley.
There is no authoritative information about the presence of ISIS in Jammu and Kashmir, a senior Home Ministry official said.
The comment came in the wake of claims that the global terror organization was involved in an encounter with security forces in Srinagar wherein a terrorist, identified as Mugees, was killed and a sub-inspector, Imran Tak, lost his life.
‘Amaq’, which is the official news agency of ISIS, had claimed the responsibility for the attack. (AGENCIES)
