Protectee persons should not go anywhere without PSOs: IGP Kashmir

IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar today asked all the protected persons not to go anywhere without their Personal Security Officers (PSOs).

Police sources said Pandit died on the spot. He had visited Tral without his security detail.

“Despite provided 02 PSOs & secured hotel accommodation in Srinagar, the said councillor went to Tral without PSOs. Area cordoned off & search is going on. @JmuKmrPolice,” Kashmir Police tweeted.
