Tangmarg cop killing: DGP Swain visits family, says police have got 'vital leads'

Srinagar, Nov 4: DGP, Jammu and Kashmir, RR Swain on Saturday visited the home of policeman Ghulam Muhammad Dar at Vailoo village of Tangmarg in north Kashmir to express his condolence and sympathies with the family of the martyr.

He was accompanied by ADGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar and other senior officers. Dar was killed by terrorists outside his home in Vailoo village of Tangmarg on Tuesday.

DGP expressed solidarity with the bereaved family and assured them that the entire police family is with them and shares their grief and sorrow, an official said. The DGP also assured every support to the family, the official added.

Speaking to reporters outside the cop’s home, the DGP said that police has got leads regarding the killing.

"Not only the killer, but all those who aided him in any way will face the law.  All the officials have vowed to find the killer and punish him as per law," he said. "We have lost a family member of police parivaar, a father, a brother & a pious person. We won’t spare those who are involved," he added.

He said there is no doubt that the handlers across the border are trying to disturb peace here and they are not sending money here to build hospitals, roads and other things but to support terrorism.

"We will be able to spoil their plans only when no one here supports them and we create that atmosphere here. The infiltrations would be seriously looked into. We will create such a situation when no one will be ready to help the handlers from the across the border," he said.
