What FACTLY found

The person in a burqa who threw a petrol bomb at the CRPF camp in Sopore (J&K) is a woman, not a man. While Kashmir Zone Police have tweeted on 30 March 2022 that Rayees Ahmad Bhat was killed in an encounter, IGP Vijay Kumar told the media on 31 March 2022 that they arrested Haseena Akhtar who threw a petrol bomb at the CRPF camp

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
