Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday claimed militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba’s was behind abductions in Hajin area of north Kashmir’s Bandipora district.
The police spokesman said that “with regard to a couple recent atrocities committed by militant on civilians in Hajin, Police investigation so far has revealed that one Mohd Saleem Parrey of Hajin, who joined the militancy last summer and is associated with militant outfit LeT, is the mastermind behind the last two abductions in Hajin; in the first instance the militants killed the abductee.”
“Evidences collected so far indicate that Saleem along with his accomplices (FTs) on the 3rd of April, went to the house of in-laws of Naseer Ahmed Parrey, fired on the inmates injuring three of them, and abducted Naseer,” the spokesman said.
Police claimed that two ladies were fired by militants and they were brutally beaten as well. Both of them are under treatment at the hospital.
Consequently, Naseer was found dead the other day on the outskirts of Hajin, with three firearm injuries in his abdomen, police said.
Further, the group with Saleem as the key conspirator barged into the house of Abdul Gaffar Bhat and took Gaffar and his 24 years old son Manzoor with them.
Gaffar managed to escape even after sustaining firearm injury.
Police have started the process of tracing the abducted person. Pertinently he is a Shepherd by profession.
Cases have already been registered in both incidents and investigations are on.
