Quoting sources, local news agency NVI reported that the incident occurred in Kiya Panchayat of Ramnagar tehsil, where the man attacked his family members with a sharp weapon. The attack led to the death of his mother-in-law, while his wife and sister-in-law suffered critical injuries.
According to initial reports, the mother-in-law succumbed to her injuries at the scene. The injured women were rushed to a nearby hospital in Ramnagar for immediate treatment and later referred to the District Hospital Udhampur for further care.
“Our focus is on restoring statehood (to J-K) because only then the laws imposed previously can be reviewed. While some of these laws are beneficial, the others are not people-friendly. Statehood is essential to address these concerns,” Karra said.
On Congress’ strategy post the election debacle in Jammu, Karra called the results unexpected but praised the party’s performance in Kashmir.
“We have constituted a high-level fact-finding committee to investigate the reasons behind the poll setback. They are currently visiting the districts, including Rajouri, and will submit a report within a month. Based on the findings, we will identify the weaknesses and take corrective actions,” he said.
Karra also said he has been engaging party workers across all levels, holding discussions and seeking feedback from them.
“We recently met senior party leaders and frontal organisations. On November 18, I will meet block-level presidents from four or five districts. Gradually, we aim to strengthen our connection at the grassroots level,” Karra said.
