Jammu, Nov 13 (IANS) In the aftermath of the killings of two special police officers (SPOs) by terrorists, police in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on Friday released posters of wanted terrorists announcing a reward of Rs 30 lakh for anyone giving credible information about these terrorists.
District Police Kishtwar issued posters of wanted terrorists and announced a cash reward for anyone providing information leading to their arrest.
The terrorists have been identified as Mohd. Amin alias Jahangir, Riaz Ahmed alias Hazari and Mudassir Hussain.
The announcement comes after the bullet-ridden bodies of SPOs Babi Chand and Rashpal Kumar were found on Thursday morning after they went missing on Wednesday in Kishtwar.
Police have appealed to the general public to share any information regarding the whereabouts of the terrorists.
People can contact on phone numbers — 9797900958 and 199535 7494.
Police assured that the identity of the informant shall be kept secret.
The Kishtwar killings of SPOs happened in less than 24 hours of another terrorist attack in Kulgam district in Kashmir. Three CRPF personnel were injured in the attack.
One critically injured CRPF trooper was airlifted to the 92 base hospital of the Army in Badami Bagh Cantonment area of Srinagar city.
Soon after the terror attack, the joint security forces started a massive manhunt to trace the two terrorists involved in the Kulgam attack.
Special Nakas and barricades were erected in Kulgam and adjacent districts to trace the assailants. Officials said joint forces are using both human and technical evidence to hunt down the terrorists.
After these terrorist attacks, there has been criticism of official claims that terrorism has ended in the union territory. Former Chief Minister and ruling National Conference (NC) president, Dr Farooq Abdullah, said nobody knew where the next terrorist attack would occur. He said the claims that terrorism had ended after the abrogation of Article 370 were proving wrong.
