Two Special Police Officers, Babi Chand and Rashpal Kumar, were killed in a terror attack in Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir. Their bullet-riddled bodies were found after they went missing during patrol. Service weapons were missing, and Pakistani-origin ammunition was recovered. Authorities, including Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, condemned the attack and launched operations to identify the assailants. Families and local leaders have demanded a CBI probe and improved security amid concerns over past militant violence in the area.
