Victims’ Families Refuse To Identify Slain Militant ‘Behind’ Dhangri Attack

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Following the killing of a militant by security forces in the Kandi area of Rajouri on Saturday morning, families of victims from the Dhangri attack refused to identify the slain ultra, The Tribune reported.
The Army believes that the militant was responsible for the targeted killings of Hindus in Dhangri village, where seven civilians were killed and 15 others injured.
When the police informed the victims’ kin that one of the suspected attackers had been killed in the Kesari hills forest area of Kandi, it provided little relief for the families. They want the police to identify those who provided specific information about Hindu homes in the village, as there are also Muslim homes in the vicinity.
The village Sarpanch, Dheeraj Sharma while speaking to The Tribune, stated that no family of victims went to identify the slain militant, and everyone believes that there was someone else who informed the attackers about the Hindu families living in the village.
The police had sent a vehicle to take victims’ families to identify the militant, but everyone is of the view that the real culprits are still at large. During the Dhangri attack, two women saw the attackers on a killing spree. One of the women, whose close relative was shot dead, said that they are not safe until the police identify those who helped the militants launch the attack.
It has been reported that the Dhangri attackers stayed at a woman’s house in Bathuni village in Rajouri. She has identified the dead militant to be one of those who attacked Dhangri.
However, the police or NIA has not confirmed this. Meanwhile, the search for the group of armed terrorists continues in the thick vegetation area of Kandi.
On Friday, after the Army received specific information about the presence of militants, an operation was launched that resulted in the killing of five soldiers.

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The residents of Mir Mohallah of Soura here have alleged that a local inhabitant, who was on oxygen concentrator support has lost his life after the Power Development Department (PDD) snapped electricity in the locality for opposing the installation of smart meters.
Blaming PDD department for the death of a patient, the residents said that the deceased was on the oxygen concentrator support, which functions on electricity only, but due to the snapping of electricity for many days, the person has lost his life.
“We demand justice as just for the reason of not installing the smart meters, the PDD has snapped the electricity in our area. There are so many people who are on oxygen support,” said a group of locals.
The locals said that even to make the arrangement for the funeral, they need electricity, which has been snapped days ago.
Meanwhile, a senior official from the PDD said that the electricity in the area has been snapped as the residents didn’t allow the installation of smart meters, adding that the concerned Tehsildar and SHO are also aware about it.
“My sympathies are with the family, if there was any such medical emergency, there should have been necessary alternatives or arrangements made. Yes, the electricity is snapped in the area as the people did not allow the installation of smart meters,” he said.
The official said that even today they had sent a team to the area for the installation of smart meters but were again stopped by locals of the area. (KNO)

Accused Sentenced To Four Months Imprisonment In Cheque Bounce Case

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: A court in Uri has sentenced an accused to four months of simple imprisonment after convicting him in a cheque bounce case.
A case was filed by Mohammad Dawood Lone, son of Abdul Karim Lone, resident of Ramgie Uri, against Abdul Rasheed Bhat, son of Anaytullah Bhat, a resident of Ihtishampora Boniyar under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act before Sub-judge Uri.
In a 22-page long order, of which the gist is produced here, the learned judge, Altaf Hussain Khan, observed that the accused is sentenced to simple imprisonment for a period of four months and a fine of Rs 12,00,000 (Rupees Twelve Lakhs only) since the accused has paid an amount of Rs 1,94,0000 (Rs One Lakh and Ninety-Four Thousand Rupees) during the pendency of the proceedings in terms of the order passed by this court under section 143-A of N.I act, and the same is set off from the fine imposed. The rest of the fine amount of Rs 10,06,000 (Rupees Ten Lakhs and Six Thousand) shall be paid by the accused to the complainant as compensation within the period of 30 days from the date of this judgment.
“With these observations, the accused is convicted of the offense U/S 138 of N.I Act. However, keeping in view the object of Negotiable Instrument Act, the financial gains which the cheque amount in question could have fetched had the payment of the amount mentioned in the cheques been made to the complainant by the accused on the due date, as the complaint in hand has been filed on 21/02/2022. The trial of the case has reached a conclusion within a span of one year and two months. Furthermore, the accused is apparently of old age and is suffering from illness. His conduct during the trial has also remained satisfactory. He has also paid the interim compensation of Rs 1,94,000 to the complainant pursuant to the order passed by this court on 06/05/2022, in the application for interim relief submitted under section 143-A of Negotiable Instruments Act and other facts and circumstances. The accused is sentenced to simple imprisonment for the period of four months and a fine of Rs 12,00,000 (Rupees Twelve Lakhs only) since the accused has paid an amount of Rs 1,94,0000 (Rs One Lakh and Ninety-Four Thousand Rupees) during the pendency of the proceedings in terms of the order passed by this court under section 143-A of N.I act, and the same is set off from the fine imposed. The rest of the fine amount of Rs 10,06,000 (Rupees Ten Lakhs and Six Thousand) shall be paid by the accused to the complainant as compensation within the period of 30 days from the date of this judgment,” the order reads.
