JAMMU, SEPT 23: In a most barbaric act, Pakistan-backed militants attempted to gorge out the eyes of three villagers, a boy and two women, of Doda in Jammu and Kashmir, a Defence spokesman said today.

The victims, Abdullah, Hafeeza and Pissibi, were treated at the government hospital at Batote after troops rescued them from the backward Warwan area recently, he said and added a group of foreign mercenaries, who entere Dkhida village demanded favours from the people, including women, in July this year. Those who refused were beaten up, tortured and even killed.

When the entire family of Hafeeza refused to succumb to the atrocities, they tied them and physically assaulted them in front of 200 people of different villages, he said.
