J&K police rubs off reports of man getting abducted in Shopian

Jammu and Kashmir police have denied reports of a man being abducted from his home in Shopian district. "The individual who is being reported as abducted in Shopian is present at his home," said the police.

The clarification from the state police comes after some media reports had suggested that a person was abducted by militants in Shopian. The development comes a day after a 40-year-old civilian was shot dead allegedly by terrorists in Gulzarpora. The man was later identified as Manzoor Ahmad Lone, a resident of Dogripora.

Police investigation revealed that he was forcibly taken away by terrorists and later he was shot dead.
