‘Abducted’ cop returns safely in Srinagar Srinagar: A police man who was allegedly abducted by suspected militants in the outskirts of summer capital last evening returned safely on Monday. Saif Qadri, a Special Police Officer (SPO) who is in the escort of Superintendent of Police Hazratbal, went missing from Zakura and was suspected to be abducting by militants. Soon after the cop went missing, forces started massive searches after cordoning off the whole area and also conducted house to house searches, a police official, who wished not to be named, said.
