J&K: 2 Missing SPOs Found Dead in Kishtwar, Bullet-Riddled Bodies Recovered, Service Weapons Missing
The bullet-riddled bodies of two missing Special Police Officers (SPOs) were recovered from Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district early Thursday, a day after they went missing from the remote Dachhan area, officials said.
The service weapons of the two slain personnel were missing, raising suspicions of a possible militant involvement in the incident, officials added.
The deceased were identified as Babi Chand (57) and Rashpal Kumar (45). Both were posted with the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the local police at Kiyar village in the Dachhan belt.
According to officials, the two SPOs went missing on Wednesday while travelling from their camp to an Army post at Dharna-Marwah. Their bodies were recovered early Thursday.
The incident comes amid another attack on security personnel in Kulgam district, where three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured after unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire at a security checkpoint on Wednesday afternoon.
