Kashmir: Suspected terrorists shoot special police officer to death
Srinagar, May 5 (IBNS): Suspected terrorists on Saturday morning shot a special police officer (SPO) to death in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
According to reports, terrorists opened indiscriminate fire on SPO Showkat Ahmad Dar, near Petrol pump at Rahmoo village at around 9 am, resulting in Dar's on-spot death.
Following the incident, a joint team of forces launched a hunt to nab the terrorists, reports said.
Meanwhile, State Police said suspected terrorists on Friday night barged into the houses of 45-year-old Ghulam Hassan Dar alias Hassan Rassa and Bashir Ahmad Dar, 26, at Gulshan Mohalla, Shahgund Hajin and abducted both of them at gunpoint.
"At about 3:30 Am the terrorists shot both of them dead. Their bodies were found by the locals near a mosque at Raheem Dar Mohalla, Shahgund, Hajin. Ghulam Hassan was the uncle of Bashir Ahmed", said a police spokesman.
Police said the preliminary investigation suggests the involvement of outlawed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba in the incident.
This is the second incident when terrorists have killed a civilian on Friday night.
Terrorists killed a 35-year-old man and critically injured his wife when they stormed their house at Harwan in apple-rich town of Sopore on Friday evening.
