Police on Thursday said it has busted a module of overground workers of Hizbul Mujahideen militant outfit by arresting its two members in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district.
"Police busted an OGW module of banned terror outfit HM that was operating in the Lolab area of Kupwara," a police spokesman said.
Acting on a specific input, police detained two persons -- Shakir Ahmad Wani and Ghulam Mustafa Sheikh, both residents of Tekipora in Lolab -- for questioning, he said.
"The module was engaged in providing logistics support to terrorists apart from luring youth into the path of terrorism," the spokesman said, adding that "after sustained questioning of the duo, a pistol was recovered on their disclosure".
A case has been registered and investigations are on, he said.
