The J&K police have busted militant modules behind the killing of two off–duty security personnel and a sarpanch in Kashmir, as militants’ targeted killings saw a sudden spike in the past one week in the Valley.
The police on Monday said the missing off–duty soldier, whose body was found in Budgam on March 10 three days after he was abducted in central Kashmir, was killed by the militants of the Lashkar–e–Taiba (LeT).
“The death of soldier Sameer Ahmad Malla from Budgam’s Khag turned to be a terror act of abduction and murder. One terrorist associate of the LeT terror outfit involved in the crime has been arrested. Other three LeT terrorists involved have also been identified and shall soon be dealt with under law,” Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said.
