The youth was identified as Nasir Waja, son of suspected terrorist Yousuf Waja, killed in an encounter with security forces in the Kashmir Valley.

"The motive of Waja's Katihar visit is not ascertained yet. As he has also visited foreign countries, the other security agencies will also question him. We are scanning the CCTV cameras of the city to find which other places he has visited. He confessed that he stayed in Katihar railway station for a few hours as well," a police official, who did not want to be named, said. --IANS ajk/vd ( 199 Words) 2023-03-16-22:40:06 (IANS)
