Mehrajudin Malla, a BJP worker and vice president of Watergram municipal council was kidnapped by some unknown people in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Wednesday morning, the Hindustan Times reported.
Citing local sources, it had reported that “some unknown people purportedly pushed Malla into a car and sped away”.
It is not known if he was provided with security cover.
BJP state spokesman Altaf Thakur was quoted saying “He is the vice-president Watergam Municipal Council. His father was also with BJP and acted as a general secretary. This family is loyal to the BJP for many years,”. He has blamed terrorists for the abduction of Malla.
Malla’s kidnapping abduction comes days after two BJP leaders resigned from the party.
Just last week, Waseem Bari, BJP former district president of Bandipore, was brutally killed, along with his father Basheer Ahmad and brother Suhail Basheer outside their shop.
J&K Police had had said that two outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists were involved in the killing. Bari’s security personnel have been detained.
