Woman without veil attacked

SRINAGAR, SEPT. 11. Just a day after the expiry of the deadline, two suspected Lashkar-e-Jabbar militants attacked a woman in the heart of the city for not covering herself with a veil as demanded by the outfit.

The ultras stopped the woman at Nai Sarak and threw coloured water on her face. Policemen deployed in the area immediately arrested a suspected youth, identified as Fayaz Ahmad.

However, local residents said that Fayaz was an ``innocent'' auto-driver and that the two unidentified youth involved in the attack had fled.
