The bullet-ridden body of an Army jawan was recovered from Pulwama district hours after he was abducted by terrorists on his way home for Eid celebrations, police said on Thursday.
Aurangzeb, who was ‘buddy’ of a company commander, was abducted by terrorists at Kalampora in Pulwama this morning when he was on his way home in Rajouri district for Eid celebrations.

Aurangzeb belonged to 4 Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry and was posted at the 44 Rashtriya Rifles camp at Shadimarg in Shopian, they said.
At about 9 AM, Army men from the unit stopped a car asking the driver to drop Aurangzeb in Shopian, officials said, recounting what had happened.
Terrorists stopped the vehicle as it approached Kalampora and abducted the jawan.
Following his abduction, his mother had appealed to the terrorists to release his son, saying she wanted to celebrate Eid with him.
Aurangzeb’s family has had the history of serving Indian armed forces. While his father retired from the Indian Army, his uncle had died in the line of duty fighting terrorists in 2004. The jawan’s brother is also an Indian Army soldier.
Reacting to the development, former chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, “Another piece of terrible news to add to an already horrible day. May Aurangzeb rest in peace. Allah Jannat naseeb karay(sic).”
