Jammu: Security forces in Kathua district of Jammu on Saturday found the bodies of three missing civilians in the forest area of Kastua who went missing on Thursday, officials said.
Sources said that the bodies of three Hindu civilians, who went missing from Kathua district in Jammu on Thursday, have been found in the upper reaches of Billawar.
The three civilians went missing in the Lohai Malhar area of Kathua after they left home to attend a marriage in the Billawar area.
Locals of the area said the civilians went missing at around 8.30 p.m. on Thursday when a marriage party was going from the Dehota village of Billawar to the Surag village of Lohai Malhar.
Those missing had been identified as 35-year-old Jogesh Singh from Marhoon village, 40-year-old Darshan Singh from Dehota village and 14-year-old Baroon Singh from Dehota village of Billawar Tehsil of the district.
A BJP MLA on Friday raised in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly the issue of the three missing civilians and sought a response from the government.
As the Assembly session began for the day, BJP member Satesh Sharma raised a point of order to inform the House about the missing civilians in the Lohai Malhar area of the Billawar constituency.
“I want to inform you about the three missing civilians. We want to seek answers from the government,” Sharma said. In response, Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather said the Question Hour had begun and suggested the question be taken up afterwards.
It may be mentioned that due to the prevailing security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, alarm bells start ringing whenever a civilian goes missing.
