Srinagar, Feb 1, : Police in Kangan took swift action to counsel a youth from the Chattergul area after he was found uploading potentially hazardous content on social media. Concerned about the impact of such content, Police Station Kangan in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal intervened to prevent any potential harm to him or others.
SHO Kangan Manzoor Ahmad told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that the youth had shared a video in which he was seen entering a hamam full of fire.
