The deceased's family claimed that Rs 30 lakh ransom was paid for his release in the presence of cops. However, the police said the allegation was not true.
A probe has been launched into the incident after the family of the victim alleged that they paid the abductors Rs 30 lakh, while the Kanpur police were present at the spot and did nothing to rescue their kin.
This is not the first time that security men going on leave to their homes in Kashmir have been abducted by militants. In 2018, there were several such abductions by militants.
