NEW DELHI, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Two youths have been abducted and killed by armed militants in Indian-controlled Kashmir over the past two days after the killers took them to be "police informers," local media reported on Saturday.

Two other youths have also been abducted, but their whereabouts are not known yet, said the media reports.

Video of one of them being executed has gone viral on social media in the country since Friday. The killers are heard as saying in the video that the victim was a police informer, and warned the people to check that their children were not police informers, otherwise they would also be killed in the same way.

According to the Hindustan Times, a 19-year-old man identified as Huzaif Ashraf was killed hours after he was abducted along with two other civilians by militants in south Kashmir's Shopian on Saturday, police said.

It came just 48 hours after a bullet-riddled body of a teen was found in neighboring Pulwama district.
