In one video, the person identifies himself as Shabir Ahmad Thokar of Samnoo in south Kashmir. Thokar says on camera that he has been working as a special police officer for the last eight years, but has now decided to disassociate himself from the force.
A report by news agency PTI referred to a video by another SPO who had resigned on Monday and claimed to putting out the video to put to rest any doubts that anyone may have.
According to reports, nearly two dozen militants had stormed homes of the policemen in two southern Kashmir villages and took them away. The three were shot dead and the former officer was released unharmed.
Militant group commander Riyaz Naikoo has several times warned local policemen, especially SPOs, to resign from the force, saying that the government was using them.

“Three more policemen have lost their lives to militant bullets. Outrage, shock and condemnation will be expressed by all of us on expected lines. Unfortunately, it brings no solace to the families of the victims,” the former CM and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief tweeted.
“Clearly, with the rise in kidnapping of police personnel and their families, muscular policy is not working at all. Dialogue, the only way forward seems to be a distant dream for now,” Mufti added.
Of the three killed, two were special police officers and one was a constable. A policemen’s brother was also among the four abducted by the militants. However, he was released later.
Jammu and Kashmir police have regularly been on the target list of militants for the past couple of months. Last week, suspected militants killed a 45-year-old army man, who was home to mourn the death of his teenage son in Kulgam.
Last month, 11 relatives of state police personnel were abducted in apparent retaliation to police detention of the families of three militants. However, they were later released unharmed.
