“My name is Aijaz Ahmad Gojri. I request my other friends -- Suhaib Akhoon, Mohsin Mushtaq Bhat and Nasir Amin Drazi -- who are on the wrong path and have left their families, their good life and living in forests, to return home,” said the militant.

In the two-minute clip, Gojrifurther said: “I request Nasir to come back as his mother is very ill.”

Gojri is one of the four militants arrested on Wednesday for their alleged involvement in the killing of three boys at Baramulla on April 30.

As per a police spokesman, two of the four militants arrested had involvement in the gunning down of Baramulla residents Irfan Ahmad Sheikh, Haseeb Nabi Khan, and Mohammad Asgar Sheikh.“

We have ample evidence to suggest the hand of the outlawed Lasher-e-Taiba group in instigating violence and killing innocent people in north Kashmir," Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) Swayam Prakash Pani told reporters on Wednesday.

The two-minute clip was shot while the terrorist was in the custody of the Army.

"Pakistan is misleading the youth," Gojri said. He further said the Army could have killed him but instead arrested him, hence giving him a new life.
