Apart from this, 8 lakh cash was also found... Pipe bombs were being made with big welding machines, suicide vests and timer bombs have been found, and auto drivers were engaged in delivering the goods... The gang leader Mufti, said that their handler is in Dubai... If you are considering this as just a riot, then you are very naive, this is a war...!! All of them were patriotic and religious brothers.

The government will keep watching Kashmir.
