The three SPOs were dragged out of their homes in South Kashmir before daybreak and were brutally killed by the terrorists. Their bodies were found later in an orchard near their village. This forces policemen to resign following which they made resignation videos. The government has blocked internet services in south Kashmir to prevent cops from uploading such videos on social media.
