Anantnag man booked for faking attack

Srinagar, October 21

In a bizarre incident, a man in Anantnag district on Saturday alleged his hair were chopped by an attacker. He allegedly did this with an aim to create a law and order problem, a police official said.

Bilal Ahmad Mir, a resident of Dooru in Anantnag district, claimed that his hair were cut by a “braid-chopper” and that he hurt his finger while resisting it, he said.

“A police team was rushed to the spot. However, during investigation, it was found that Mir wanted to create disturbance in the area by enacting the drama of hair-chopping,” he said, adding Mir had even lied about his injury. The police have registered a case. — PTI
