PHOTO OF MISSING GIRL
Jammu, November 22, (Scoop News)-Parents of a Kashmiri Pandit girl,who has been reportedly missing since Saturday last and allegedly kidnapped by a boy belonging to other community, staged a protest
demonstration in the winter capital on Sunday.
The parents along with scores other people blocked Tawi bridge under the banner of All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) and sought police action in recovering the girl.
The parents with scores of people including ladies and children alleged that police was taking the case lightly even as their young daughter who was to get married on December 12 this year was still missing and her kidnapers were roaming free.
With tears rolling down the cheeks of the parents of the girl Opinder Koul and Girja Koul were carrying placards “bring our daughter back” seeking help from everyone to help them in tracing their daughter who
had called them last on November 15 asking them to save her from one Sahil (Rusman Bhat) of Paloura adding since then they had not heard anything from her.
They (parents) alleged that they were being mislead by the parents of the boy saying she had married their son adding if it was so why were they not producing the girl before police adding they suspect some
foul play in the whole affair and fear she might have been killed or was being kept under some threat.
The father of the girl said that police was deliberately not using all its resources under their command due to some pressure forcing them to come to streets to seek justice.
King Bharati, spokesman of All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC), while lashing out at the administration said that it was strange that a young girl was missing for the last so many days and
police was still groping in dark adding they believe it was being done with some ulterior motive to force the girl to convert or marry under pressure.
Demanding immediate recovery of the girl, Bharati said that once the girl comes in front of the parents and police the truth will be known adding any further delay may convert the whole affair into yet another
case of Love Jihad.
He served an ultimatum of 24 hours to Jammu police to recover the girl or face direct action adding Kashmiri Pandit community as well as entire Hindu community was raging with anger and warned that any
further delay will have serious consequences.
Later a contingent of police force used mild lathicharge to lift the blockade from Tawi bridge road with demonstrators asking SSP to come to talk to them.
However, SP City SK Chouhan arrived on spot and assured of prompt action taking a delegation with him to Police Control Room where concerned SDPO and SHO were also summoned.
The police officers after listening to their grievances assured action and sought time upto this evening to recover the girl.
Later the dharna was lifted with a clear warning that if the girl was not recovered by tonight the agitation will spill over the entire region which might take a communal turn.
