  Mob kills woman constable in Bihar
UN, HR bodies urged to take notice of killing spree in IIOJK
  Date : 19-03-2024

Muhammad Ullah: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Mass Movement (JKMM) has urged the United Nations and the international human rights organizations to take notice of the fresh killing spree and other atrocities by Indian troops in the territory.

The JKMM Information Secretary, Shabbir Ahmed in a statement issued in Srinagar, paying tributes to the youth recently martyred by Indian troops in Bandipora and Kulgam, said that the Modi-led fascist Indian regime, under a planned conspiracy, was killing innocent youth to change demography of IIOJK.

He said that the commitment of Kashmiri people for freedom had frustrated India which had adopted a brutal policy to prevent the people of Kashmir from their just struggle for right to self-determination. He said that the killing of innocent youth by Indian troops had proved that the occupied territory had been converted into a slaughterhouse where Kashmiris were being ruthlessly killed.

Shabbir Ahmed said, no day passes when Kashmiris are not targeted. He added that the third generation of Kashmir was sacrificing its lives in the war of freedom. He said, the day is not far when the sacrifices of the people of Kashmir will bring fruit and they would get rid of Indian subjugation.

Mob kills woman constable in Bihar: Meanwhile, a mob attacked and killed a woman constable and injured several others in Jehanabad district of Bihar on Saturday following the death of a Dalit man in custody on charges of flouting the liquor ban.

Local people had blocked National Highway 110 near Nehalpur under Parasbigha police station in Jehanabad in protest against the death of Govind Manjhi, who hailed from the Musahar community, South Asian Wire reported.

Sources said Govind, a resident of Sarsa village, was arrested on July 19 in a case related to illegal liquor trade and allegedly thrashed by the police. He was later sent to jail, where his condition deteriorated. He was admitted to a government hospital in serious condition for treatment, but died early on Saturday.

His family members and other people from Sarsa brought his body back from the hospital in the afternoon. They later blocked the highway and attacked a police team that reached Nehalpur.

“The people blocking the road started pelting bricks and stones on our team after a man accused in a case related to flouting the liquor ban died. He was sent to judicial custody and was lodged in a jail in neighbouring Aurangabad district,” Jehanabad sub-divisional police officer Ashok Kumar Pandey told South Asian Wire.

“Our team retreated, but was chased by the mob. The woman constable seems to have been run over by a vehicle while trying to save herself. Many other police officials were injured in the incident and some of our vehicles were also damaged. We have arrested a few persons so far in connection with the incident,” he said.

The deceased policewoman has been identified as Kanti Devi. She was a resident of Khagaria district.

Reinforcements were rushed to Nehalpur and the police resorted to lathicharge and allegedly fired a few rounds in the air to control the situation. The injured police officials have been admitted to the district hospital for treatment.

The police claimed that the protesters fired a few bullets during the clash.

Jehanabad superintendent of police Deepak Ranjan rushed to Nehalpur and has been camping at the spot.

“We have arrested five persons so far. We have also got video footage of the incident and other persons involved in the incident have been identified. Raids are on to nab them,” Ranjan told The Telegraph over the phone. He added that Govind was arrested in connection with the liquor trade.
