A man identified as Md Naushad was arrested from Bokaro district in Jharkhand after allegedly uploading a provocative social media post praising the Pahalgam terror attack, police reported Wednesday.

The attack occurred at Baisaran meadows in South Kashmir and resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists. Naushad's post, found on X, commended Pakistan and the terror group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, for the strike.
