Perpetrators will be taught a befitting lesson: J-K Dy CM Nirmal Singh on jawan Irfan Ahmad Dar's killing

 Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh today condemned the killing of a Territorial Army jawan in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district and said the perpetrators of such heinous crimes should be taught a befitting lesson.

The bullet-riddled body of Sepoy Irfan Ahmad Dar (23) was recovered today from an orchard in the Watmullah Keegam area of Shopian. The jawan was on leave when he was abducted by militants in Shopian, officials said.

Terming the incident "unfortunate and a crime against humanity", the deputy chief minister said, "the perpetrators of these types of heinous crimes are to be isolated and taught a befitting lesson as they are working against the basic tenets of every religion."

Singh conveyed his sympathies to the bereaved family and said the crime needs to be condemned by every section of the society.
