Srinagar, Mar 3 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday arrested absconding cop from South Kashmir's Kulgam district along with arms from his possession, police said.
Shakoor Ahmad decamped with four AK-47 rifles from the residence of a senior police officer in Bijbehara area of south Kashmir on January 16. He was posted as PSO to DSP Irshad Ahmad and had fled with AK rifles.
 
“After receiving inputs about the presence of absconding cop, police and Army personnel from 62 RR jointly raided a house at Awhatoo village and apprehended Shakoor," said Senior Superintend Police officer Mumtaz. 
 
“A pistol and two grenades were recovered from his possession,” the police official said adding that the rifles he had decamped were already been recovered from his associates who were arrested earlier.
 
On May 29 last year, a policeman Naseer Ahmad Pandit guarding the house of the then J&K roads and building minister Altaf Bukhari decamped with two rifles. Later militant outfit Hizbul Mujhadeen claimed that Pandit joined them.
