Srinagar, Sept 21: Hours after the bullet-ridden bodies of three cops were recovered from Shopian in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday morning, DGP Dilbag Singh condemned the incident calling it an act of desperation on the part of the terrorists. Terming it an unfortunate incident, the DGP said the cops appear to be soft targets for the terrorists.
"It has been a very unfortunate incident that 2 SPOs and a police constable has been shot dead. It's an act of desperation on part of militants outfit. They appear to be soft targets to them. It's highly condemned," said Dilbag Singh.
Following the incident, reports surfaced that two Special Police Officers (SPOs) and a constable submitted their resignations.
However, DGP Singh refuted such reports calling them rumours. Singh said, "Police work for the public, not to hurt anyone. Rumours should not be spread about them. If any such incident happens, we will look into it. Our SPOs have been doing their duty very well. They are an important part of our security forces." |
