The Special Police Officers went missing on Wednesday while moving between their camp and an Army post in the Dachhan belt.
The bullet-riddled bodies of two missing Special Police Officers (SPOs) were recovered from the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir early on Thursday, according to ANI.
The deceased, identified as 57-year-old Babi Chand and 45-year-old Rashpal Kumar, were members of the Special Operations Group (SOG) at Kiyar village in the Dachhan belt.
The two men disappeared on Wednesday while they were in transit from their camp to a Dharna-Marwah Army post.
Officials noted that the service weapons of the officers were not recovered, which has led to suspicions of a militant involvement in the incident.
Kishtwar MLA Shagun Parihar described the event as a tragic incident and stated that the bodies were found at approximately 8 am and 9 am.
Parihar alleged that Pakistan is involved in conspiracies against the region and called on Union Home Minister Amit Shah to ensure those responsible are held to account.
In a separate incident in Kulgam district, three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured on Wednesday when motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire at a security checkpoint in Nowpora Akhran.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary condemned the Kulgam attack and noted that terrorism has caused significant damage to the region over the years.
