A 25-year-old married woman, who went missing about a week ago, was found dead in Kulgam district of south Kashmir today, police said.
The body of Sumaira Jan, a resident of Babdar-Fathapora village, was recovered from an open field near Mir Bazar in Qazigund area, 80 kms from here, a police spokesman said.
