Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday “strongly” condemned the “brutal killing” of an army soldier who was kidnapped and shot dead by militants while on vacation.

In a statement, Mufti said: “Strongly condemn brutal killing of Irfan Ahmed , a brave Territorial Army soldier at Shopian.”

“Such heinous acts will not weaken our resolve to establish peace and normalcy in the valley,” she said.

The 23-year-old martyred jawan had gone missing on Friday and his bullet riddled body was found in Shopian district on Saturday morning, officials said.

The cowardice attack bears an eerie resemblance to the death of Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Ramzan Parray who too was shot dead by terrorists while on vacation at his residence in September.

The police have launched an investigation into the murder and the hunt for the unidentified gunmen is on, officials said.
