Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday released posters of three wanted terrorists in Kishtwar district and announced a reward of ₹30 lakh for credible information leading to their arrest, following the killing of two Special Police Officers (SPOs).
The terrorists have been identified as Mohd Amin alias Jahangir, Riaz Ahmed alias Hazari and Mudassir Hussain. District Police Kishtwar appealed to the public to share any information about their whereabouts.
Police have released two contact numbers, 9797900958 and 1995357494, for people to provide information. They assured that the identity of informants would be kept confidential.
Two SPOs Found Dead in Kishtwar
The announcement comes a day after the bullet-ridden bodies of SPOs Babi Chand and Rashpal Kumar were found on Thursday morning. The two officers had gone missing on Wednesday.
Their killings came less than 24 hours after a terrorist attack in Kulgam district, in which three CRPF personnel sustained injuries.
One critically injured CRPF trooper was airlifted to the Army's 92 Base Hospital in the Badami Bagh Cantonment area of Srinagar.
Security Forces Launch Manhunt in Kulgam
Following the Kulgam attack, joint security forces launched a massive search operation to track down the two terrorists involved.
Security personnel set up special checkpoints and barricades in Kulgam and neighbouring districts. Officials said the forces were using both human intelligence and technical evidence to identify and trace the attackers.
Farooq Abdullah Questions Claims of End of Terrorism
The latest attacks have renewed criticism of official claims that terrorism has ended in Jammu and Kashmir.
Former Chief Minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah said nobody knew where the next terrorist attack would take place.
He also questioned claims that terrorism had ended in the Union Territory following the abrogation of Article 370, saying recent incidents had proved such assertions wrong.
