Last month, a Border Security Force constable went missing from his post near the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. The constable who hailed from Bihar was on general duty at the Bharani forward post in Balakote sector when he went missing and a search operation was carried out.
A missing report was lodged in the matter after the constable could not be traced by the authorities.
The incident came just two weeks after another army soldier went missing from Kashmir's Kulgam district in August when he came to visit his family during his leave.
The soldier, identified as Javaid Ahmad Wani went missing on August 29, while his car was found in Paranhall, prompting fears that he could have been abducted by terrorists. He was, however, found by Kulgam Police a week later.
