This is not for the first time that the militants have abducted a cop.
Earlier this month, the mutilated bullet-riddled body of constable Javed Ahmad Dar, who was also abducted by terrorists, was found lying outside Kachdoora village in Shopian district of South Kashmir. Police said wounds on the body indicated that he was tortured to death by the terrorists.
Javed Ahmad Dar was a Jammu and Kashmir Police constable posted in Srinagar. He had come to his native Vehil Chatwatan village to see his ailing mother.
According to the police, four terrorists of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) abducted him on 5 July from a chemist shop in the village where he had gone to purchase medicines for his mother. He was taken away in a Santro car.
The police said Dar’s body was found outside the Kachdoora village where security forces had eliminated 13 top terrorists — five of them top commanders of HM and Lashkar-e-Taiyba (LeT) — in an encounter in April. Dar was at that time PSO of Shopian district police chief Shailendra Kumar who had led the operation.
Before Dar, Army soldier Aurangzeb was kidnapped and brutally killed by terrorists in Shopian on 14 June.
