Police sources said Shakoor Ahmad, the personal security officer of DSP Irshad Ahmad Rather, went missing along with two friends Friday evening. They said Ahmad took away four service rifles along with him. He is a resident of Kundalan village in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, a militant stronghold.

This is the second such incident since March 2015 when a policeman, Naseer Ahmad Pandit, went underground with two service rifles. Naseer, a resident of Karimabad in Pulwama, later joined the militants along with three friends.
