Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday sounded an alert after some unidentified persons stole a vehicle from Kashmir Valley three days ago. The stolen vehicle went missing after entering the Jammu region through the Nashri tunnel on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
According to officials, the incident was reported on January 20, when the driver of a Tavera vehicle Mehraj Bhat started his trip from Anantnag taxi stand to Srinagar. At the Arwani underpass on NH 44, three passengers with distinct attire-one in a Pheran and the others in shirt and trousers boarded the vehicle bound for Srinagar.
