Srinagar: Another youth was abducted from Shopian district making him the third abduction in 24 hours. He was abducted from Meemender village in the district. This comes after two terrorists were killed in an encounter in Rebban area of Shopian district on Sunday morning. They were associated with terror outfit Al-Badr.

The 19-year-old has been identified as Huzaif Kuttay. As per reports, the plot has been carried out by Jaish e Mohammad outfit. Earlier on Saturday, terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir killed a 19-year-old boy who was found later with his throat slit in Hermain village of South Kashmir. The deceased, Huzaif Ashraf, was abducted from Sandipora area of Shopian.

In another chilling incident, a video was released by Pakistan-based terror organisation Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), which shows an 11th-grade student shot multiple times in the head. Calling it barbaric, Former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister and J&K National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah condemned the incident.

“The cold-blooded murder of an 11th standard student by the Hizbul Mujahideen terror outfit is deeply disturbing. There can be no justification for this act & should force those who sympathise with these outfits to question how these murders make Kashmir a better, freer place,” he said in a statement on Twitter.
