Police arrest main accused in Pulwama woman’s throat-slit murder case

Srinagar, Nov 13 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday said they have arrested the main accused in the murder of a 75-year-old woman whose throat was slit in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, while the investigation has revealed the alleged involvement of another person in the crime.
The victim, identified as Jana Begum a resident of Parigam Jagir, was murdered on October 19, following which Police Station Pulwama registered an FIR under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Jana Begum was allegedly attacked when her son had gone to a nearby mosque to offer Fajr (pre-dawn) prayers. The assailants slit her throat and fled, leaving her lying in a pool of blood.
Taking cognisance of the crime, SSP Pulwama constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT), headed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Headquarters Pulwama, to investigate the case.
Following sustained investigation and examination of evidence, the SIT arrested the main accused, identified as Imran Ahmad Mir, also a resident of Parigam Jagir, police said.
“Through sustained investigative efforts and meticulous examination of the available evidence, the SIT succeeded in arresting the main accused, identified as Imran Ahmad Mir resident of Parigam Jagir,” police said.
During questioning, the arrested accused allegedly disclosed the involvement of another individual in the crime, prompting police to widen the investigation to establish the role of other suspects and ascertain whether a larger criminal conspiracy was involved.
Further investigation is underway, police said.
