Srinagar: Acting swiftly on a violent assault in Qamarwari, Srinagar Police have arrested all three accused involved in the case following a series of overnight raids across multiple city locations, officials said.
The incident took place on October 14, 2025, near Haroon Bakery at Hilal Abad, Qamarwari, where a youth, Noman Yaqoob Khanday, was attacked with an axe by unidentified assailants. The victim’s father, Mohd Yaqoob Khanday, a resident of Bilal Colony, Qamarwari, immediately reported the matter at Police Post Qamarwari.
Following the complaint, FIR No. 100/2025 was registered at Police Station Parimpora under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) — Sections 126(2), 115(2), and 109.
