A Kashmiri man who was part of the Territorial Army was found dead on Saturday, with his body riddled with bullets. The victim was identified as Irfan Dar, 23. He was visiting his home in South Kashmir’s Shopian district and was last seen by family members on Friday evening. “He has a bullet wound on his body and his family said he hadn’t come home since yesterday. We are investigating the matter,’’ said director general of police SP Vaid. Dar was posted at an army unit in Bandipora, North Kashmir and was visiting home on leave for 10 days. According to police, the body was discovered by locals in Wothmula Nad area of Keegam. His car was also found near the spot, a few kilometres from his home. “Sepoy Irfan Admad Dar, son of Ghulam Mohammad Dar, was a serving soldier. The individual was posted in a Territorial Army unit in Bandipora district,’’ an army spokesman confirmed. “He was on leave till November 26, 2017. While on leave he was possibly abducted and killed by terrorists. The matter is being investigated by the police,’’ the spokesperson added. Another army officer from Kashmir was also abducted and shot dead by militants in the state’s Shopian district in May this year, where he had gone to attend a relative’s wedding. -PTC News-
