Javed Wani, who was stationed in Ladakh, had returned home on leave. It was during this time that he went missing, with the last sighting of him being on Saturday when he went out for shopping in Chowalgam. In response to the situation, BJP leader Altaf Thakur expressed his belief, through a video message, that this could be a new tactic employed by militants to target innocent civilians. He assured that those responsible for kidnapping the soldier will be identified and brought to justice.
