Banihal: A 40-year-old man, who was working with a private railway construction company and went missing three days ago, was found murdered in a forest area in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, officials said. Three suspected persons including a woman and her brother were detained for questioning in connection with the murder, the officials said.
They said the deceased Reyaz Ahmad Wani, a resident of Aarpora-Doligam village of Banihal, went missing from Reasi on Thursday evening shortly after he left his accommodation to report for his duty in an under-construction railway tunnel nearby. Wani's family members tried to block Jammu-Srinagar national highway near Banihal against his mysterious disappearance but returned home after police and civil officers assured them all possible help to find the whereabouts of the missing man.
