Four AK-47 assault rifles have gone missing from the official residence of Muzaffar Parray, former MLC of Congress, confirmed the police.

All four policemen posted on security duty at his residence have been taken to the police station for questioning.
The Police said that it was a serious matter and was being investigated.
It is worth mentioning that a special police officer (SPO) had three months ago deserted with nine weapons, including seven AK-47, one INSAS, and a pistol, from the residence of PDP legislator Aijaz Mir who is the next door neighbour of the MLC from whose house four assault rifles were stolen on Sunday.
The SPO who stole the nine weapons has reportedly joined terrorist ranks.
