Srinagar: Three Jammu and Kashmir policemen in Shopian district on Friday announced their resignation on social media after the abduction and killing of three of their colleagues by terrorists.
The three policemen who quit were a constable and two special police officers (SPOs).
Terrorists have been threatening policemen, especially SPOs, to give up their jobs or face the consequences.
In recent statements, the terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen’s operational chief in the Valley, Riaz Naikoo had asked the SPOs to resign and keep a copy of their resignation letter at home so that there was proof of their abandoning the police force.
