Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 30: Militant outfit Jaish-e-Mohd (JeM) is likely to be involved in Kulgam killings in which 5 non-local labourers were killed on Tuesday evening. Reliable sources told Early Times that a group of six militants including 4 Pakistan militants affiliated with banned outfit JeM, barged inside the rented accommodation of slain labourers in Katrasoo village of Kulgam district.
The militant group, according to sources, led by local JeM militant Rouf Ahmad kidnapped the labourers before killing them on Katrasoo-Behibagh road. The slain labourers belonging to West Bengal were doing mason jobs and putting up in a rented accommodation. Providing details, sources revealed that the militant outfit JeM had planned the execution of no-local labourers to terrorize non-locals working in the district.
Kulgam Police said that they have registered a case and started investigation.
"We are ascertaining the details and trying to find out which militant group carried out the attack but prima facie it appears that JeM carried out the attack," a police officer told Early Times, however, wished anonymity as he is not authorized to speak to media.
