“All were arrested and booked in a militancy recruitment case. They were recruiting young boys and also harbouring militants,” Mishra said.

The trio were first detained under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for six months but after getting bail, they were shifted to a local hospital where police arrested them again and booked them under PSA before shifting them to Jammu jail, the family of the victims said.
