• Raises concern over rising crime rate in Jammu

JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and party spokesperson Dr. Tahir Choudhary has expressed concern over the lack of progress by Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the probe into the mysterious deaths in Badhaal village, Rajouri. He stated that while the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the district administration has yet to reveal any substantial findings, a central team of experts is actively working on the case.

Dr. Choudhary emphasized that the public is eager to know the status of the investigation, as 17 lives have already been lost, and affected families are still awaiting answers. "It has been weeks since the SIT was formed, but there is no clarity on what caused these tragic deaths. The people of Rajouri demand transparency and immediate results," he said.

He also acknowledged the efforts of the expert team from AIIMS New Delhi, which has collected water and food samples for testing. However, he stressed that local authorities must accelerate their efforts to uncover the truth and ensure justice for the victims' families. Additionally, Dr. Choudhary raised serious concerns over the rising crime rate in Jammu, citing recent incidents, including a broad daylight robbery in Greater Kailash and a shocking murder at Jewel Chowk.

He stated that such incidents are creating fear among the public and called for urgent and concrete measures to improve law and order in the city. "The increasing incidents of crime, including broad daylight robberies and murders, show a worrying trend. The administration and law enforcement agencies must act swiftly to ensure the safety of the people," he asserted.

Dr. Choudhary urged the police to enhance surveillance, strengthen patrolling in vulnerable areas, and take strict action against criminal elements. He reaffirmed the BJP's commitment to public safety and called on the administration to prioritize security measures to restore public confidence.
