Ahmad had gone missing from near his home on July 29. According to his family, he had stepped out to buy some food items as he was about to leave for his duty a day later. His car was later found near a market area.
Ahmad was posted in Ladakh as a rifleman with the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry and had taken leave for Eid last month.
Following his disappearance, a search operation was launched by the security forces in Kashmir, reported The Indian Express.
