A massive manhunt has been launched to nab suspected militants who fled with four rifles and other ammunition from Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district last night.

The incident took place last night when the suspected terrorist overpowered a police guard personnel deployed on a 'minority police picket' and snatched three rifles.

According to reports besides the rifles, six magazines were also stolen.
