A boy, who joined militancy in Kashmir, has returned home on Friday following an appeal by his mother, a senior police official said.

"Another young boy responding to the appeals of crying mother returned to the fold of family leaving path of violence in the valley", Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police S P Vaid said in a tweet.

The DGP also wished a happy reunion to the family in his tweet.

"I wish the family happy re-union", he said.
