Sunday's attack was the second since Friday when a group of militants had massacred seven people, including four village defence committee (VDC) members in Gaylot village on the Panchairi hills, about 8-10 km from Drabli.
The militants who were in combat dress escaped and no outfit has so far claimed responsibility.
Two persons who survived the attack on Sunday, had informed the police about the incident.
A police party headed by a deputy superintendent, besides two columns of army soldiers, were sent for a combing operation in the Hindu-dominated Panchairi area, they said.
Udhampur district police chief Deepak Kumar said the site is 6-7 km from the nearest motorable road.
