"We have taken cognizance of the posters and are investigating the matter," Inspector General of Police S M Sahai said.
He said although the posters look like the handiwork of some local miscreants, the police is not taking any chances and will investigate the matter thoroughly.
Posters carrying the names of 13 persons, who are purportedly on Lashkar-e-Taiba's hit list, appeared in some parts of Pattan town, 27 kms from here, this morning.
These people have been accused by the militant group of indulging in "anti-movement" activities.
