A group of youths, who recently joined the banned terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, have brazenly posted a group photo on social networking site Facebook, each member posing with a firearm.

The photograph, which was on the website for two days before being taken down, reportedly included former Jammu and Kashmir Police constable Naseer, who is understood to have run away with weapons while on guard duty.

With this incident occurring around the time of the start of the Amarnath Yatra, security forces are on high alert and have reportedly sought details of the IP addresses from where the photos were uploaded and subsequently deleted.
