MIRPUR (AJK), October 6: A grieving widow from Barnala town of Bhimber district has appealed to senior police authorities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) to arrest suspects nominated in the 2022 murder case of her only son and order a fresh and impartial investigation.
Addressing a press conference at the Kashmir Press Club on Tuesday, Kaneez Bibi said her only son, Sohail Karamat, was allegedly killed in broad daylight in 2022. She said a First Information Report (FIR) was registered at Barnala Police Station but the nominated suspects had not been arrested despite the passage of three years.
Kaneez Bibi said her son had been her sole source of support and livelihood. She alleged that repeated appeals for action had produced no effective results and claimed that certain police officials had failed to take appropriate action against the accused, weakening the case.
She said she had been seeking justice and the arrest of her son’s alleged killers for the past three years. She appealed for the matter to be handled fairly and for all relevant facts to be examined during the investigation.
The bereaved mother appealed to AJK Prime Minister Iftikhar Gilani, Inspector General of Police Malik Liaquat and Deputy Inspector General of Police Mirpur Region Kamran Ali to take personal notice of the matter, order an effective fresh investigation, arrest the nominated suspects and ensure that the case is presented before the court for an expeditious trial according to law.
She further demanded that if negligence, dereliction of duty or alleged collusion by any police official was established, legal action should be taken against those responsible.
Kaneez Bibi said such action was necessary to provide justice to her and her family and ensure that the case proceeds according to law.
