Srinagar: J&K Police on Saturday said three militant associates of Hizbul Mujahideen were arrested in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Friday.

Police said arms and ammunition was also recovered from the trio.

The three were arrested at a checkpoint in the district.

The arms included pistol, two magazines and 13 live pistol rounds.
