Srinagar: The family of an active militant from Malangpora village of Pulwama district today appealed their son to shun violence and return home. In Lal Chowk’s press colony, the family of Adil Bilal appeared and requested their son to come back.

“We want him back. On 7 Nov, he went to work and did not return back. We called him many times on his phone but he did not respond. Next day his photo with a gun was all over the social media,” Bilal Ahmad, father of Adil Bilal said.

Adil joined Hizbul Mujahideen in the initial days of November. He, according to the family members, was working with a contractor at the Srinagar Airport.

“Besides this, he was also studying in College in Pulwama,” a resident of Malangapora said.
