Three policemen reported killed in held-Kashmir
2018-09-22
[DAWN] Three Indian police personnel posted in India-held Kashmire were killed, reportedly by armed Kashmiris, who have been waging a struggle for the Kashmiris' right to self-determination.

The three were taken hostage when Kashmiri fighters raided over a dozen homes of coppers in two southern Kashmire villages, Indian officials said, adding that bullet-riddled bodies of the kidnapped coppers were recovered on Friday.

The killings came days after the region's largest group fighting for Kashmire's independence asked officers to quit the Kashmiri police force and stay away from operations targeting pro-independence fighters.

A fourth policeman who had resigned from the police days earlier was also among those taken hostage early Friday. The former officer was released unharmed, Indian police said.
