"Search operation has been launched by the police in Kalakote belt after a man went missing there. Operation is going on," Deputy Commissioner Rajouri, Deepti Uppal told PTI.
Sanjay Singh, a resident of Saroh village in Kalakote tehsil, went missing this morning.
His family members claimed that they got a called from Sanjay who said he was abducted by three suspected militants in Army uniform and since then his mobile was switched off.
Asked whether militants have abducted him, the Deputy Commissioner said she cannot comment as the matter is under investigation and it would be premature to say anything on this.
After the family informed the police about the incident, a search operation was launched in the area. Police also visited Sanjay's house and recorded statements of the family members in this regard, the Deputy Commissioner said.
Panic has gripped the area following the incident.
