Srinagar, May 15 (PTI) Militants slit the throats of four persons after abducting them from Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, official sources said today.
Throat-slit bodies of Ghulam Qadir Lone and Mumtaz Ahmad were recovered by police from Aragam on the outskirts of their Chati-Bandi village in Bandipora area of the district today, the sources said.
They said the duo were abducted by the militants from the village yesterday.
However, the fate of two more abducted persons, constable Mushtaq Ahmad of India Reserve Battalion and Javed Ahmad, was not known. The two were abducted by militants from the same village on May 7.
Police recovered bodies of two more persons identified as Mohammad Maqbool War, a resident of Soyan, and Nazir Ahmad Bhat of Handwara from village Batpora in Rafiabad of Baramulla this morning, the sources said.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the duo, both shopkeepers, were abducted by militants and killed by slitting their throats on the suspicion of being "informers" of the security forces, the sources said. Bhat was said to be a former militant who had given up violence.
No militant outfit has so far claimed responsibility for the killings. PTI
