Srinagar: Terrorists active in the Kashmir vallley abducted two more relatives of Jammu and Kashmir policemen on Friday taking the total number to 11 within the last three days.
Though the security forces were on the look out to trace the abducted civilians, it is stated to be drawing fresh strategy to not only recover the hostages safely but to also thwart any such future attempts by the terrorists.
On the other hand, a statement purportedly issued by Hizbul operational commander Riyaz Naikoo, on the social media said that henceforth the terrorists would follow “an eye for an eye policy”.
“Police has compelled us to follow the course of an eye for an eye and an ear for an ear.
“Policemen are advised in their own interest to give up their jobs or be prepared to face the worst,” Naikoo, whose father was arrested by police two days back, said.
According to a police official, the abducted relatives of policemen include two brothers of police officers and nine sons.
Reacting to the development, former state Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah tweeted: “11 abductions! This is a very worrying reflection of the situation in the valley.
“What’s worse is the selective outrage — people/leaders who are so vocal about alleged security force excesses are silent about these abductions.”
Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday released the father of a Hizbul Mujahideen commander they had arrested two days back.
Assadullah Naikoo, father of the Hizbul Operational Commander Riyaz Naikoo, was arrested in Pulwama district.
In vengeance, terrorists in south Kashmir abducted 11 relatives of policemen.
