Pulwama: A joint team of Jammu and Kashmir Police, Army and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on Saturday initiated a cordon and search operation in villages of Pulwama district in south Kashmir.

The operation is being carried out in the light of yesterday's incident where bullet-ridden bodies of two Special Police Officers (SPOs) and a police constable was found in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district.

The SPOs and constable were kidnapped by the terrorists from their homes.
