J&K Police Chief Orders Probe Review in Rape‑Death Case, Crime Branch Reconstructs Final Days

The Jammu & Kashmir police chief has ordered a comprehensive review of the investigation into a rape‑death case that has drawn widespread public attention. The directive comes after concerns were raised about procedural lapses and delays in the original probe.

In parallel, the Crime Branch has begun a detailed reconstruction of the victim’s final days, gathering evidence from the crime scene, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing forensic reports. The aim is to clarify the sequence of events and identify any gaps in the investigative process.

The case, which involves a woman found dead in a remote area following allegations of sexual assault, has been under scrutiny for several months. The review seeks to ensure that all investigative steps meet legal standards and that justice is served promptly.

Police officials have stated that the new probe will be conducted with greater transparency and that any shortcomings identified will be addressed immediately. The state government has pledged full support for the renewed investigation.

The outcome of the review and the reconstruction work is expected to shape the next phase of the legal proceedings against the accused parties.
