Two special police officers (SPOs) were sacked from service on Sunday for their alleged links with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua. SPOs—Abdul Latief and Mohd Abbas—had been arrested for their alleged involvement in terror activities, informed the officials.
The said Senior Superintendent of Police, Kathua, Mohita Sharma, ordered the termination of the two SPOs with immediate effect. The two cops are accused of providing support to terrorists.
