Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Devinder Singh was detained in the Mir Bazar area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.

The police intercepted his vehicle and arrested two JeM militants and recovered five grenades from it. “Two AK-47 rifles were recovered in a subsequent raid at the officer’s residence,” source told.
