Kashmir, Sept 21, 2018 : Three Special Police Officers (SPOs) and a brother of a policeman have been kidnapped in South Kashmir’s Shopian where militancy has been on the rise. No group has yet claimed any responsibility. More details awaited.

 

The Hizbul Mujahideen had some time back given what it called a ‘final warning’ to SPOs to quit their jobs by September 19 .

In recent times, militants have targeted policemen. Last week, suspected militants killed a 45-year-old army man, who was home to mourn the death of his teenage son in Kulgam.

In June, Army soldier Aurangzeb was abducted from a private vehicle when he was going home for Eid in Shopian. His body was recovered from a Pulwama village.
