With the arrest of six people, police claimed to have cracked three cases -- burning of two shrines, including that of Baba Hanifuddin, on July 15 this year and a mosque.
Mir said in his statement before the judge that he had met some Lashker terrorists in Faislabad who tried to lure him to work for the terror group.
The Lashkar terrorists, one of whom he identified during interrogation as 'Waleed', wanted to start an agitation similar to that in 2010 and to burn mosques and shrines in the Valley to create unrest and asked Mir to meet Zahoor on his return for further tasking, the confessional statement said.
Mir, who has appeared in exams and was awaiting results, claimed he had never been part of the group that had indulged in burning of shrines.
However, on his tip-off, five others were arrested who were being interrogated, the sources said.
Dastgeer Sahib shrine, a 250-year-old wooden landmark dedicated to 11th-century Sufi saint Sheikh Abdul Qadir Geelani, was gutted on June 26.
