| Harsh Dev seeks CBI probe into ‘murder’ Chenani youth by Punjabi migrants, nomads | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 12: Expressing shock over the brutal massacre of a Chenani youth named Shiv Raj by some nomads and outside migrants in Seoj Dhar area last week, Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP sought a high level probe preferably by CBI into the said murder besides other untraced acts of violence and loot in the past in the Dudu belt of District Udhampur.
He said that Seoj Dhar area had earned the most dubious notoriety in the past few years in view of growing number of criminal activities indulged in by migrant nomads from Pathankot, Gurdaspur and its adjoining areas of Punjab as well as from border areas of District Kathua. It has also remained the hub of militancy for several years, revealed Singh who held a protest dharna at Jammu today. He regretted that despite the apprehension of five nomads involved in the murder, the dead body of the victim had not been traced.
Singh said that large population of nomads migrated to the said area during summer season from different parts of District Kathua and from Punjab and forcefully occupied the forest lands, state lands, kah charai lands besides proprietary lands of locals through money and muscle power. These lands were then let out to the locals by the nomads for grazing purposes and huge money charged from them for allowing their cattle in the area. Several of these nomads were reported to be having links with militants and served as OGWs for them. |
