Following Wani's footsteps, Musa released a video message to J&K Police, saying that don't harass our families, other wise you will have to face daring consequences.


Earlier, too Bhat had released a video urging the people of Kashmir to continue the agitation till the region achieves its goal of “azadi”.


Bhat, said to be around 22 years, was a student of civil engineering in Chandigarh before he returned to his ancestral village Noorpura in Pulwama in 2013 and joined the Hizbul Mujahideen, the only surviving Kashmir-based militant group.


Kashmir has been witnessing unrest for over four months since July 9, a day after Hizbul commander, Burhan Wani was killed in a gunfight with the security forces.


However, the Kashmir Valley is slowly bursting into life with a large number of vehicles out on the roads, and markets, schools, offices and businesses open for the first time in the last over four months of separatist-sponsored shutdown and protests.
