[THREAD] A top Jammu and #Kashmir police officer has been detained by the security forces during an anti-militancy operation in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district along with militants at a checkpoint which was erected in the area after a specific input.
The arrest of a top officer, who was deployed with the anti-hijacking unit at the #Srinagar International Airport, has shocked the security forces operating in the valley as the officer was involved in several anti-militancy operations in J&K.
Sources have told @WIONews that deputy superintendent of police Devinder Singh along with top Hizb commander Naveed Ahmad Shah alias Naveed Babu and other militants were traveling in a car at Wanpoo area when they were nabbed. The cop had taken a four day leave, sources say.
What’s more shocking is that Davinder had bagged the prestigious President's Police Medal on Independence Day of India only last year. Singh was recruited as a police sub-inspector and with time he rose to the ranks and became the DSP rank officer. #Kashmir
Devinder was seen posing in a picture with a group of foreign envoys who visited #Kashmir on an Offical tour to get a first-hand account of how things have changed since August 5, when J&K special status was revoked.
