In what seems to be a tit for tat reaction, ten relatives of policemen were been abducted by the militants in South Kashmir.

The development took place after police arrested relatives of militants including father of popular militant commander Riyaz Naiko among eight persons in separate raids in South Kashmir.

Riyaz, alias Mohammad Bin Qasim is the chief operations of Hizbul Mujahideen militant outfit.

Families of the two militants also allege that their two houses were set ablaze by the forces.

They said the houses were burnt by the forces after killing of four policemen during an attack in Shopian on Wednesday.
