Police on Sunday arrested three overground workers (OWGs) of militants in summer capital Srinagar and recovered an AK-47 rifle from their possession.
Police sources said here on Sunday that three OWGs of militants were arrested in Tengpora (Batmaloo) area of Srinagar city.
"They were arrested while moving in a car. One AK-47 rifle has been recovered from the possession of these OWGs," sources said.
