Two village defence guards have been kidnapped and killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district. The attack comes days after at least 12 people were injured in a grenade attack at a Sunday market in Srinagar.
Officials said the two members of a village defence committee, Nazir Ahmad and Kuldeep Kumar, were kidnapped from a forest area in Kishtwar on Thursday and then shot dead. “A massive search operation has been launched to hunt down the terrorists,” said an official.
