Kishtwar (JK), July 03: Militants in Jammu and
Kashmir on Friday killed a former ultra and injured his uncle and
kidnapped a villager in Tander-Dachhan area, 290 km from
Jammu, official sources said.
A group of 3-4 armed militants came to the shop of Tariq
Hussain, the uncle of surrendered Hizbul Mujahideen militant
Abdul Majid Ganoo in Tander-Dachhan early this morning and
beat them up severely after an argument, official sources
said.
The militants then opened indiscriminate fire killing
their surrendered associate on the spot and injuring his
uncle, they said.
Ganoo had surrendered before Rashtriya Rifles troops at
Dachhan in the same district on February 5, 2008.
Locals, who went to the shop after hearing gunshots,
shifted both of them to the Primary Health Centre at Sundar,
from where Hussain was airlifted to Jammu for treatment, they
said, adding his condition was stated to be critical.
The same militants had also kidnapped 26-year-old Nazir
Ahmed Genoo, son of former Vice-Sarpach of Tander, last
evening.
Police said a search has been launched to rescue the
kidnapped youth and track down the militants.
