Former Chief Minister and working president of National Conference Omar Abdullah condemned the killing of the young army officer in South Kashmir and said the incident showed a new mindset devoid of fear of retribution.

"That the militants kidnapped an army officer & murdered him shows a new mindset devoid of fear of retribution/revenge & that is very scary," he said in a tweet.

According to reports, bullet-ridden body of a young Kashmiri military officer Lieutenant Ummer Fayaz was found on Wednesday in South Kashmir after he was kidnapped by unidentified terrorists on Tuesday night from the wedding of his cousin.
