On Thursday evening, Village Defence Group (VDG) members in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district were kidnapped and killed by the terrorists. An offshoot of the Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist organisation called the “Kashmir Tigers” claimed responsibility for the attack. The terror group shared the images of the victim’s bodies with eyes blindfolded.
The villagers were identified as Nazir Ahmed and Kuldeep Kumar; both were residents of Ohli Kuntwara village. The bodies are yet to be recovered.
A massive search operation has been launched by the police to find the bodies.
According to the officials, both Nazir and Kuldeep went to graze their cattle in the forest when the terrorists kidnapped them.
“We have received information that my brother and Ahmad were abducted and killed by terrorists,” Kuldeep’s brother Prithvi told the news agency PTI. As per their routine, the village defence guards (VDGs) had gone to graze cattle, as usual.”
