KATHUA, 6 Feb: The Deputy Commissioner Rakesh Minhas has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the death of Makhan Din (25) resident of Perody, Billawar in Kathua.
It is learnt that the magisterial inquiry into the death of Makhan Din amid allegations of custodial killing.
Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has posted on X, “Shocking news from Kathua: Makhan Din, aged 25 from Perody, Billawar, was detained by the SHO of Billawar on false charges of being an Over Ground Worker (OGW). He was reportedly subjected to brutal thrashing and torture, forced into a confession, and tragically found dead today. The area has been sealed off, and internet services have been cut, leading to widespread panic. There’s an ongoing crackdown, with more individuals being picked up .This incident appears to follow a troubling pattern of targeting innocent youths on fabricated charges. I urge the DGP@JmuKmrPolice to initiate an immediate investigation.
Following this there was rebuttal from J&K Police who refuted these allegations and by administration that Deputy Commissioner Rakesh Minhas ordered a magisterial probe.
