Jsmmu, February 19:
Kathua district administration on Monday imposed restrictions on assembly of more than four people in Hiranagar sub-division after a rally was taken out in Hiranagar demanding CBI probe into the “ rape and murder” of a young girl Asifa in the town and surroundings .
The District Commissioner Kathua Rohit Khajuria, in his order, citing the reason for the restrictions said that” a heinous crime was committed against a minor, which is being investigated, and some people are trying to foment trouble in the district by raising undue demands.”
“Whereas peace and tranquility is mandatory for the progress and development of the district. Whereas, it is also necessary and important for the education of the children in view of the crucial time of annual examination of different levels,” read the order.
It said that the investigation has already been entrusted to the crime branch of J&K Police by the govt and the investigation is under progress.
“Whereas it has been observed that few persons are fermenting trouble by raising undue demands which are not the mandate of district administration and such actions by these persons are causing interference in the ongoing investigations as well as destroying harmony in the district and hence undesirable,” the order read.
