The gunmen kidnapped Basharat Ahmad Wagay, a former SPO, Zahid Ahmad Wagay, and Reyaz Ahmad Wagay from their village at Reban in Zainapora area of Shopian, the sources said.


However, a police official said they were ascertaining the reports about kidnapping of the three persons.


"No one has come forward with a complaint about the kidnappings so far. We are ascertaining facts," the official said.


Militants killed two persons -- one shot dead and another terminated in ISIS-style execution -- in South Kashmir last week on the charge of being informers of security forces.
