Terrorists abduct 11 family members of J&K policemen, ex-Chief Minister's express concern
Srinagar, Aug 31 (IBNS): Terrorists have abducted 11 family members of Jammu and Kashmir policemen in the past few days, media reports said on Friday.
Kashmir Police Zone tweeted: "Some incidents of abduction have come to the notice of Police in #South Kashmir. We are ascertaining details and circumstances. In due course it shall be placed in public domain.@JmuKmrPolice."
Militants and forces victimising each other’s families is highly condemnable and marks a new low in our situation.Families shouldn’t become casualties and made to suffer for something they have little control over.

Former Chief Minister of the north Indian state Omar Abdullah described the abduction incidents as a 'very worrying reflection of the situation in the valley'.
"11 abductions! This is a very worrying reflection of the situation in the valley. What’s worse is the selective outrage - people/leaders who are so vocal about alleged security force excesses are silent about these abductions," the former CM tweeted.
