Local sources said that few unidentified gunmen abducted Sarpanch Muzaffar Hajam from the house of his relative. As the gunmen took the Sarpanch along on gun point, the local population reportedly followed the masked gunmen who according to locals were repeatedly directing the people to return to their houses.
