‘Murder’ of old woman

Police detains Sarpanch, others

Budgam: Police have arrested two persons including a Sarpanch for their alleged role in murdering the mother of five children Zaina Begam in Sutharan area of Central Kashmir’s Budgam district.

    Scores of residents from Sutharan village Monday staged a protest in Press Enclave Srinagar alleging that due to political pressure police is shielding the ‘killers’ who according to them murdered an old woman on the behest of Sarpanch Ghulam Muhammad Lone and Panch Bashir Ahmed Sheikh. The protestors demanded the arrest of all accused involved in the killing of Zaina Begum.

   “Our neighbouring Bhat family headed by Akbar Bhat, his issues and relatives supported by Sarpanch and Panch attacked us with axes and sharp edged weapons. They kicked and strangled our mother to death and during the mêlée raised our two houses to ground,” Abdul Gani Sheikh told adding that they are fearing for their lives as police is reluctant to arrest the culprits due to political affiliation of an accused with a particular political party.

    Displaying their wounds and stitches, the protestors including children, women and men appealed police to arrest all the culprits without any delay.

   When contacted a police official told CNS that they have already registered an FIR vide number 71/2014 under section 302,307,452,148,149,336,323,427 of RPC in this regard. “After initial inquiry we have arrested the Sarpanch Ghulam Muhammad Lone and Muhammad Amin Lone. More arrests are expected once inquiry will be completed,” he said adding that the feud between the Bhat and Sheikh family was the outcome of unsuccessful matrimonial relationship. (CNS)
