Srinagar- A family on Saturday staged a protest in the Achabal area of Anantnag district in South Kashmir against the alleged murder of their daughter by her in-laws.
The family and relatives of the woman assembled at Achabal and shouted slogans in support of their demand for “immediate action against the in-laws for alleged murder of her” at Kehribal Mattan Anantnag.
“The height is such that her in-laws left the hospital after she died instead of taking her body for last rites,” they said, as per news agency GNS.
Meanwhile, the family demanded strict action against the in-laws and urged authorities to act swiftly so that the “culprits are brought to book immediately.” A police team later reached the spot and pacified the protesters, mainly women, with the assurances of action as warranted under the laws. Later traffic through the area was restored.
When contacted, a police official said that proceedings have been launched into the incident.
