SRINAGAR, Aug 13: Militants shot dead a civilian after abducting him from his house in Pulwama district, police said today.
"Terrorists in Murran area of Pulwama last night barged inside the house of Gulzar Ahmad Bhat and abducted him," a police official said.
The official said police recovered Bhat's bullet-riddled body from a nearby field.
"Police have registered a case and initiated investigation, which suggest involvement of local militants Zahoor Thokar and Showkat Dar of the Hizbul Mujahideen outfit," he added.
Meanwhile, Two overground workers (OGWs) of militants have been arrested for a failed rifle snatching bid from a bank guard in Pulwama district, police said today.
On 10 August, two persons barged inside the Jammu and Kashmir Bank branch at Khrew in the south Kashmir district and attacked bank guard Mumtaz Ahmad with pepper spray and a sharp-edged weapon in an attempt to snatch his 12-bore rifle, a police spokesman said.
He said Ahmad successfully foiled the bid to snatch his rifle but suffered injuries, following which he was rushed to Khrew hospital. The accused persons fled the spot, the spokesman said.
A case under relevant sections was registered and the investigation was initiated, he said.
During the course of investigation, the involvement of two OGWs, Yasir Ahmad Wani a resident of Babapora and Yawar Sultan a resident of Shar Shali Khrew, surfaced in the commission of crime, the spokesman said.
He said both were subsequently arrested and the case is being probed.
