SSP dismisses two SPOs for terror links in Kathua

Two Special Police Officers (SPOs) have been dismissed from service in Kathua district for their alleged links with terrorists, officials said on Sunday.

The dismissed SPOs, identified as Abdul Latief and Mohd Abbas, were earlier arrested for their alleged involvement in terror-related activities, the officials added.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kathua, Mohita Sharma, ordered their dismissal with immediate effect after their alleged complicity came to light. The two policemen are accused of extending support to terrorists. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, while speaking to mediapersons about the termination of government employees in recent times, said such actions did not begin after 2019. He pointed out that it was Mehbooba Mufti, former Chief Minister and president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who had first initiated dismissals of government employees during her tenure.

“This party has only brought destruction to the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Omar alleged

In recent years, several government employees have been terminated from service for alleged links with terrorist groups operating from across the border in Pakistan
