Authorities have suspended internet services in Kashmir valley and clamped restrictions on the movement, following the killing of most wanted terrorist Zakir Musa. In addition to this, schools and colleges have been shut down for a day.

Pulwama (Jammu and Kashmir): Hours after the killing of most wanted terrorist Zakir Musa, the local authorities have suspended mobile internet services across the Kashmir valley.

The move is seen as a preventive one to ensure that inflammatory images and posts are not uploaded in the social media platforms.

Besides this, schools and colleges have also been shut down for a day across Kashmir valley, with restrictions clamped on the activities.

According to the police report, Musa was killed in an encounter with security forces in Tral in Pulwama in the morning. He was the commander of al-Qaeda linked Ansar Ghazwat-ul Hind.

One AK-47 rifle and a rocket launcher have been recovered in the operation at Dadsara village in Tral which began on Thursday.

The operation was launched following inputs about the presence of Musa.

After the state police forces killed three terrorists affiliated with proscribed terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen on May 18, there was tension in the area.

Terrorists on Tuesday evening hurled grenade at a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) post situated at State Bank of India (SBI) in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district. No loss of life or injury was reported in the incident.
