Srinagar: In a shocking incident, an Indian Army soldier went missing on Thursday from north Kashmir's Baramulla district, police said. Zahoor Ahmad Thakur, with the 173 Territorial Army, was reported missing from his camp in Gantmulla area along with an AK-47 rifle. As per sources, the soldier is suspected to have joined terror group Hizbul Mujahideen. Though the reason for escape is yet to be asserted, a probe has been launched to find the same and the whereabouts of the soldier.
