Hours, after five people were allegedly kidnapped by terrorists on Saturday morning from villages near the Shopian district, one of them, was found dead around a deserted orchard.
According to a report in NDTV, police suspect that terrorists may have slit the throat of the deceased Huzaif Kuttay. The 19-year-old used to work as a baker and was murdered on suspicion that he was a police informer.
The report also claimed that two other abductees have been released, while the rest are still missing.
“Another dastardly killing of a young man, and this time the terrorists slit his throat. This barbarism has no place in our society & no struggle, no matter how lofty the claims to justify it, can condone this inhuman behaviour,” said former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemning Kuttay’s murder.
The incident happened just days after a 17-year-old teenager from the Safanagri village was executed on similar suspicions on Thursday night. A video of the incident had also gone viral on social media, which was heavily criticised by many political parties.
