Tension has again gripped the south Kashmir town of Shopian where the body of an activist of the local action committee spearheading the movement for bringing the culprits of the double murder to book was found in an orchard.
Muhammad Husain Zargar, 42, a local property dealer, had been picked up by some unknown people from his house on Saturday. Police found his body in a local orchard on Tuesday.
The body has been kept in a local hospital for autopsy.
Muhammad Shafi Khan, local action committee president, has called for an indefinite strike in the town on Wednesday to protest what he claimed had been the murder of their activist.
Zargar had announced that he would support the family of the two local women, Nilofar, 22, and Asiya, 17, who were raped and murdered May 30.
