Hand over Kishtwar rape-death case to crime branch: Mehbooba urges Jammu and Kashmir LG

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has called on Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to transfer the Kishtwar rape and death case to the crime branch for a transparent and timely investigation. The incident involves a 15-year-old tribal girl who was allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted by her school teacher over several months, leading to her pregnancy. She died on August 20 after an alleged failed attempt to terminate the pregnancy in Kishtwar district. Mufti described the case as a 'deep, festering wound on the conscience of our society' and emphasized the need for swift justice to prevent similar crimes.
