A Hizbul Mujahideen module aiming to disrupt the forthcoming bypoll to the Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag parliamentary constituency was busted with seven militants arrested from Kulgam district on Monday, police said.

Kulgam's Senior Superintendent of Police Shridhar Patel told reporters that police arrested the militants following information about formation of the module by Hizbul commanders.

The module's kingpin, Zuber Ahmad Badar was arrested and a pistol, some bullets and two AK-47 magazines seized from him.



"Sustained interrogation of the arrested militant led to arrest of more militants who were part of the module, which had been tasked to attack security forces in order disrupt the by-election in Anantnag parliamentary constituency," police said, adding more arrests are likely based on further disclosures.

Voting for Anantnag by-poll is scheduled on April 12.
