Sher Khan, who was once a terrorist, now puts up tricolour at his residence in J&K's Kishtwar on R-Day eve

Kishtwar, Jan 27: In a significant development, a former terrorist put up the Tricolour outside his on the wall located in Segdi Bhata village of Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir on the eve of Republic Day.

 

Sher Khan was a Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HUJI) militant between 1998 and 2006. He surrendered in 2006, spent 13 years in jail before being released in 2019.

 

Sher Khan was abducted by Pakistani terrorists when he was 20 years old and was included in their ranks. Further, after getting into the militant group, he soon got disenchanted with them and on the first opportunity available, he along with six others, surrendered before the security forces in Awantipora (Kashmir) in 2006.

 

 

It is the first time that Sher Khan has put up the Tricolour at his house.

 

"I was misled on a wrong path and as soon as I realised it, I persuaded others and surrendered before the security forces and joined the mainstream," he was quoted as saying to Indian Express.
