Kulgam: A day after an Indian Army personnel from Kulgam district of south Kashmir went missing and police said they are investigating the case, the BJP unit of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday said that “it is a new strategy of militants to target people”.
“This is a new strategy by militants to target innocent people, but we will find those responsible for kidnapping the Army soldier and they will be punished,” BJP member Altaf Thakur said.
The army personnel Javid Ahmad Wani, son of Muhammad Ayoub Wani, a resident of Asthal area of Kulgam, went missing since last evening.
“Last evening he went to Chawalgam area for purchasing some food items in his Alto vehicle bearing registration number (JK-18B 7201). Since then he has not reported back to home,” officials said.
He was on leave since Eid-ul-Azha and is posted in Leh, Ladakh. Officials said that efforts are on to trace him.
Meanwhile, the mother of missing army personnel in a video message has appealed one and all to allow her son go back to his home.
“My son in innocent and he is too young. I am seeking forgiveness if my son has committed any wrong. I appeal one and all to allow my son return home, “She said.
A senior police official said that a massive man hunt has been launched to trace the personnel.
