Srinagar: Separatist militants on Friday snatched the weapon of a guard posted for the security of a judge here, an official said.
"Militants snatched the service weapon of a guard posted on protection duty with a district and sessions judge," a police official told IANS.
"The incident occurred at the residence of the judge in the city outskirts," the officer added.
The incident comes a day after militants shot at a private security guard in the city from close range, injuring him critically. The shooting took place in Kaka Sarai area, barely a kilometre away from Friday's weapon snatching.
