Two Special Police Officers Go Missing in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar; Search Underway
Two Special Police Officers (SPOs), Babi Chand and Rashpal Kumar, went missing in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district while traveling from Kiyar camp to an Army post. Their mobile phones were initially reachable but later switched off, prompting a joint search operation by police, Army, and CRPF in the forested, mountainous area. Gunshots were reportedly heard near the site, but officials have not confirmed a militant link, emphasizing that investigations are ongoing amid the region's history of terrorist activity.
