Rajouri, Sept 3: Family members and the locals have criticized Manjakot police for its failing to arrest PDP's block president Mohd Saleem Khan who was booked by the police in an alleged attempt to kill his wife by pouring kerosene oil on August 18.
Pertinent to mention here that a case u/s 307/504/323 RPC (FIR 79/14) was registered against the above said accused following the complaint of his wife Zareena Begam a mother of four children.
Zareena in her complaint to police has alleged that her husband has been physically and emotionally abusing her for the last many years on one or other pretext. "But the things drastically took ugly on August 18 as after beating her the accused poured kerosene on her and tried to burn her alive," she alleged in her complaint. Meanwhile family members including Mutib-ur-Rehamn brother of the victim added to this when Mohd Saleem was about to lit the match box to put her ablaze alive, Zareena got a chance and she locked herself in a nearby room after pushing her husband aside and also raised alarm to attract attention of neighbours. The neighbours rushed to her help and thereafter Zareena alongwith her family members went to Manjakot Police for help. "Even the matter of their strained relations was several times raised in the village panchyat and was resolved by the Panchyat but the victim (my sister) who is an Aganwari worker failed to get due financial support to meet the expenses of her four children from her husband" lamented the brother of the victim.
He demanded immediate arrest of the accused and also appealed to the top leadership PDP not to support Mohd Saleem. When contacted Shoukat Mehmood, SHO Manjakot told that police has booked Mohd Salleem in an attempt to murder his wife and further investigation is on.
