The soldier who hailed from Kulgam of Kashmir was commissioned into the army only in December 2016. The Kashmir police have put up posters with pictures of three Hizbul terrorists wanted for the killing of the army officer. Reward has ben announced for any information on three terrorists suspected to be involved in the abduction and subsequent killing of Lieutenant Fayaz. Ishfaq Ahmad Thoker, Gayas-ul-Islam and Abass Ahmad Bhat are the suspects in the case.
