A decomposed body found in a village in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam this morning has been claimed as that of Rifleman Shakir Manzoor - an Army soldier missing since August 2 last year.
Mr Manzoor's father, Ahmed Wagay, told NDTV "I have identified the body... it is my son. I identified him from his feet... his hair and also a bracelet he wore."
Police, however, have said forensic procedures, including a DNA test, were needed to confirm that the body is that of Shakir Manzoor.
The body was found by locals who informed the police. News of the body was also circulated to Ahmed Wagay, 56, for whom the last 12 months have been a bitterly painful quest to find his son.
