Jammu and Kashmir Leaders Condemn Abduction and Murder of Two Special Police Officers

Kishtwar, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : In Kishtwar, BJP leader and opposition head in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Sharma, has strongly condemned the alleged abduction and murder of two Special Police Officers (SPOs). The incident occurred in the Dachhan area, where reports indicate that the officers were taken while traveling from Dherna to Kiar. After several hours of searching, their bodies were recovered.

Sharma expressed deep concern over the presence of terrorists in the region, stating that the Indian government would take stringent action against those responsible for such heinous acts. He noted that news about the two missing SPOs had circulated on social media since Wednesday. The officers, identified as Rashpal and Bhavichan, went missing while on their way to Kiar, with unconfirmed reports indicating that one body had already been found.

He emphasized that the loss of life in the Kyar Nala area is not new, recalling a past incident where eight members of the Village Defense Committee were killed in a single day. “Today’s incident is tragic, and the gravity of this situation cannot be expressed in words,” he said.

Sharma plans to visit the site with other legislators to assess the ground situation and will request the central government and Jammu and Kashmir authorities to enhance security measures. Addressing concerns about the alleged resurgence of terrorists in Kishtwar, he stated that the threat level is minimal. “Our agencies are actively combating the terrorist network in the area,” he added, noting that the remaining terrorists are local and suggesting a connection to longstanding groups in the region.

He reiterated that there would be no compromise in the fight against terrorism, affirming the commitment to ensuring peace, security, and stability in Jammu and Kashmir.
