Villager keeps terrorist's body as souvenir

By Indo-Asian News Service

Jammu, April 10 (IANS) In a bizarre incident, a villager who killed a terrorist took the body home as a souvenir, police said.

Balwinder Singh, who is a member of a village defence committee, shot dead a terrorist in the Tata Pani jungles in the border district of Rajouri, about 150 km north of here, police said.

However, instead of leaving the body in the jungles, he brought it home to signify his bravery.

Singh refused to hand over the body to the army, claiming he was working with the police and would only hand over the body to a police officer.

Police in Rajouri said they will send an officer to ensure the body is buried.
Probably because it would frighten all of the Mrs. Grundy's...
