Srinagar, Dec 6 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir police on Wednesday claimed that it has cracked the blind murder case of Territorial Army soldier Irfan Ahmed Dar and has arrested a newly recruited militant among others.

The  investigation conducted so far has revealed that militants involving Saddam Padder resident of Heff, Bilal Mohand resident of Heff, Touseef resident of Gadbugh and one newly recruited unidentified militant along with arrested accused Muzamil resident of Shirmal hatched a criminal conspiracy to kill the sepoy Irfan Dar.

In pursuance of the said criminal conspiracy, on Nov 24, the accused Muzamil went to the native village of Irfan and took him to Wuthmula where the militants were already present in a nearby orchard.

They came out from the orchard and fired at the Sepoy Irfan, resulting in instant death of the victim on the spot.

After executing the gruesome murder, all of them fled from the spot.

Basis on the evidence available, police could unearth the entire chain of conspiracy and finally nabbed accused Muzamil who is presently in custody.

The bullet-riddled body of the Irfan Ahmad  was recovered from village Wuthmula on Nov 25.

A case was registered in Police Station Shopian under section 302 RPC and 16 UA (P) act.
