A constable of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday fled with four service rifles and ammunition in the state's Badgam district, police said.
The constable identified as Syed Naveed Mushtaq fled with four self-loading rifles (SLRs) - his own and of three of his colleagues - and ammunition from a Food Corporation of India warehouse where he was posted in Badgam.
"A manhunt has been launched to nab the constable," police said.
Mushtaq, who hails from Shopian district, had joined police in 2002 as a constable, police said.
