Body of policeman Javid Ahmad Dar was found by the locals in Kulgam's Pariwan area, news agency ANI reported on Friday. 

Dar was abducted by terrorists from a local medical shop in Shopian on Thursday. 

Sources said four unknown terrorists abducted Dar on gunpoint and whisked him to an unknown destination.

The terrorists were traveling in a car when they abducted Dar outside his home at 9.30 pm on Thursday. 

A massive hunt, which was launched on Thursday night failed to track down the kidnappers and rescue the cop.

Aurangzeb belonged to 4 Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry and was posted at the 44 Rashtriya Rifles camp at Shadimarg in Shopian. His bullet-riddled body was found at Gussu village, about 10 km from Kalampora, in Pulwama district. 

Terrorists were also seen grilling Aurangzeb moments before murder. A chilling video of 24-year-old riffleman had sent shock waves in the Kashmir Valley.

A day after the killing, the terrorists released the 1.15 minute video on June 15 in which they are heard questioning the Aurangzeb about the encounters. “Yes I am rifleman and my duty was on the post,” Auragzeb was seen replying to the attacker’s question, who was not visible in the video.

Terrorists were heard asking whether he was the guard of Major Rohit Shukla who was injured during an encounter in which Hizbul Mujahedeen Commander Sameer Ahmad Bhat alias Sameer Tiger was killed on April 30. “Who desecrated the bodies of Wasim and Talha”, asked the terrorists. “No I did not”, replied the Aurangzeb.

Earlier, Aurangzeb's family had made an emotional appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir government to eliminate militancy from the state and avenge his death.

‘My son has laid down his life for the country. He was a brave soldier. I and my sons will also sacrifice (ourselves) for the nation. We want goons to be wiped out,’ Mohammad Hanief, Aurangzeb's father and a former sepoy of the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry, had said.
