Kishtwar, Nov. 12 -- The bullet-riddled bodies of two missing Special Police Officers (SPOs) were recovered from Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district early Thursday, a day after they went missing from the remote Dachhan belt.

The two SPOs, identified as Babi Chand (57) and Rashpal Kumar (45), were posted with the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the local police at Kiyar village in Dachhan. They had gone missing on Wednesday while travelling from their camp to an Army post at Dharna-Marwah.

Officials said the bodies were recovered early Thursday. However, the service weapons of the slain personnel were not found, raising suspicions of a possible militant angle in the incident.
