SRINAGAR: A local woman’s death has sparked tension in the Takibal Reban area of Zainapora, with her family alleging that her in-laws murdered her. The deceased has been identified as Urfi Jan, wife of Shawket Ahmad Lone, a resident of the same area.
While initial reports suggested she died of a heart attack, her parents and relatives have strongly disputed this, claiming foul play and demanding a thorough investigation.
Following the incident, the body was taken to District Hospital Shopian for medico-legal formalities, including a post-mortem, to determine the exact cause of death.
A police official said that they have taken cognisance of the matter and initiated legal proceedings. The official stated that the cause of death can only be confirmed after the post-mortem report is received and that a further investigation is underway.
“If it is suspicious, we will investigate. If anyone is found involved, they will not be spared and action will be taken as per law,” the official added. (JKNS)
