Dar was posting and sharing content aimed at glorifying terrorism, terrorist commanders and inciting anti-national sentiments among youths,” a police spokesman said, adding that the efforts to track the suspect were initially hindered due to his constant movement and change of location. “A preliminary inspection of the digital devices revealed access to that Facebook account, along with incriminating materials, including a video of slain terrorist commander Zakir Musa and other extremist propaganda,” the official said.
