Kathua killing sparks protest in Ramban
The killing of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua on Friday sparked protests in Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir.
In Ramban town, the protesters blocked the Maitra-Ramban road for half an hour to demand the arrest of killers of the little girl who was found dead a week after she went missing in Hiranagar village of Kathua.
Protests were also held at Khari tehsil of the district after Friday prayers. The protesters rued the failure of the authorities to arrest the culprits. They also raised slogans against the police and the state government.
Imams of the masjids in Ramban town, Khari and Banihal warned of an agitation if the government didn’t arrest the culprits soon.
Pertinently, the government has ordered a magisterial probe into the incident following protests by the opposition in the legislative assembly.
