Three campaigners of proscribed outfit arrested, say KP police
PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Special Police Unit (SPU) on Thursday claimed to have arrested three individuals suspected of campaigning for proscribed militant organisations."The militant campaigners were found in Peshawar's Dir Colony," said SPU officials. The arrested men— Raheemullah, Sibghatullah and Sajjad Hussain— were found distributing pamphlets in support of proscribed military outfits. Special Police Unit officials did not specify the name of the proscribed outfit the men were campaigning for. Cases have been registered against the three men. A few months ago, CTD arrested two campaigners belonging to the militant Islamic State (IS) group from Nothia Bazaar, Peshawar. After the implementation of the National Action Plan for counter-terrorism in December 2014 in the wake of the Army Public School attack in Peshawar, authorities have stepped up efforts to combat terrorism.
