JAMMU: Two girls in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district were allegedly tonsured by Lashkar-e-Taiba militants on suspicion of being army spies, an act that drew strong protests from the locals.

Two LeT militants - Yasir Wani and Sajjad Ahmed - intercepted the girls when they were grazing cattle at Beli area last evening, official sources said.

Labelling them as army informers, the militant duo shaved off the hair of the two girls from Chalias village of Gandoh. The girls were set free with a warning that they will be killed if they don't stop working for security forces as informers, the sources said.

Locals informed the security forces and police about the incident. The people resorted to protest demonstrations in the area today. The militants are yet to be traced.
