The bodies of two special police officers, who were previously missing, have been found in the Dachan forest area of Kishtwar district in Jammu and Kashmir, according to a report by India Today.
The deceased have been identified as Bobby Chand and Rashpal Kumar. Both officers were part of the Special Operations Group (SOG). They had gone missing while on a tracking mission to replace a military unit.
In connection with this incident, it has also been reported that their service weapons are missing. Currently, a joint search operation is being conducted in the area by the Army, CRPF, and police.
This tragic incident follows a terrorist attack on a CRPF checkpoint in Kulgam.
These Special Operations Group officers lost contact while travelling through the forest route for the replacement of army soldiers. As no news of them was received for a long time, a search operation was initiated, which ultimately ended with this tragic outcome.
Currently, security forces are continuing investigation and search operations in the dense areas of the forest to ascertain the exact reasons behind this incident and to obtain information regarding the missing weapons. Due to this incident, security arrangements and a tense situation are being observed in the entire area.
