Alleged former militant Shah was returning to India from PoK to join his family in J&K and avail the state government’s scheme for surrendered militants. The Delhi Police arrested him in Gorakhpur and claimed he was planning to execute suicide bombings in Delhi before Holi. Within 24 hours of the Delhi Police claim, both J&K government and Police said Shah was returning to the state to surrender, his credentials were verified and his family had in February itself submitted required papers before the Deputy Commissioner of Police in his native Kupwara district in J&K.
