Bullet-riddled bodies of cops found in Jammu and Kashmir, weapons missing

The bullet-riddled bodies of two Special Police Officers (SPOs) who had gone missing in Kishtwar district have been recovered, officials said on Thursday.

Officials told GNS that the deceased have been identified as SPO Rashpal Kumar, Belt No. 65, Age 45 years and SPO Bobby Chand, Belt No. 920, Age 57 years.

Both were residents of Kiyar Dachhan and were posted with SOG Kiyar Sector Dachhan, District Kishtwar.

The duo had gone untraceable on November 10 after they were detailed for rotation duty at army Camp Dharna, Sector Marwah. They had failed to report to the said TOB for duty.

Officials said their bodies, bearing bullet injuries, were recovered from the forest area in Dachhan sector. Their service weapons were not found at the spot.

A massive search and cordon operation had been launched after they went missing. Security forces have now intensified the operation in the area to trace the attackers.

Further details are awaited.(GNS)
