SRINAGAR: An army man was kidnapped by militants from his home in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district on Friday evening. Army jawan Mohammad Yaseen Bhat was on a month-long leave and visiting his home in Qazipora Chadoora in the district.
Mohammad Yaseen Bhat, a rifleman in the army, had returned home on February 26. Armed militants stormed his home and took him away.
Officials say efforts are on to locate the army man.
The kidnapping comes at a time when there is heightened security in the Kashmir Valley after last month’s terror attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pulwama in which 40 CRPF soldiers were killed.
