A cop of Jammu and Kashmir Police has decamped with four rifles from the residence of a top-ranking police officer in south Kashmir.
Sources told KIF on Saturday that Shakoor Ahmad, who was posted as Personal Security Officer (PSO) to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and SDPO Bijbehara Irshad Ahmad Bhat in Bijbehara area of Anantnag district, decamped with the rifles last night.Ahmad, a resident of Kundalan in Shopian district, was escorting Irshad, when he was badly injured in a militant attack recently, said a police officer.
Sources believe that Ahmad might have joined militants like his predecessor Naseer Pandith who decamped with his service rifle while he was posted on guard at then Works Minister Altaf Bukhari’s residence in Sheikhbagh area of Srinagar in March last year.
Pandith had joined Hizbul Mujahideen militant outfit and was recently seen in a picture with commander Burhan Wani.
