Oh Hindus and Non-Muslims plz choose your friends and even servants wisely…..

Hemant Lohia Murder: Based on early investigations and security footage, the police are focusing on his 23-year-old domestic help, Yasir Ahmed, hired six months ago.

Prem  Singh Mankotia | HENB | Jammu | Oct 4, 2022:: A senior Hindu police officer in Jammu and Kashmir was found dead at home late last night, with his throat slit and burn injuries on his body.

His Muslim domestic help, Yasir Ahmed the prime suspect in the case, has been taken into custody.

Hemant Kumar Lohia, the officer in charge of prisons in Jammu and Kashmir, was murdered at a friend’s house on the outskirts of Jammu, where he had been staying with his family while his own home was being renovated.

Mr Lohia, 57, was appointed Director General of Prisons (J&K) in August.

Based on early investigations and security footage, the police are focusing on his 23-year-old Muslim domestic help, hired six months ago.

The killer had first suffocated Lohia to death and also used a broken ketchup bottle to slit his throat and later tried to set the body on fire.

The guards present at the residence of the officer saw fire inside Lohia’s room. They had to break open the door as it was locked from inside, he said.

Upon visiting Lohia’s residence, the ADGP said the preliminary examination of the scene of crime points towards murder.

Yasir was on the run after the murder.

Police said Yasir was arrested from a field in the Kanhachak area after a major all-night manhunt. Interrogations with him in the case have begun.

Lohar is a resident of Halla-Dhandrath village in Ramban district.

Police had also released Ahmed’s photo to the public for help to track him down. The murder surfaced on a day Union Home Minister Amit Shah began a three-day visit to the Union Territory.

Pro-Terror Group took the responsibility, but Police say ‘no terror act is apparent’

According to reports, Pakistan-backed terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM)’s affiliate People’s Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF) claimed the responsibility for the killing of Jammu and Kashmir DGP (Prisons Department) Hemant Kumar Lohia.

A statement, which was believed to have been issued by the terror group, was circulating on social media post Lohia’s murder.

However, Additional Director General of Police, Jammu zone, Mukesh Singh said no terror act is apparent as per the Initial investigation. But, the terror angle is also being probed in J&K DG Prison’s murder, says another report.

Police also said that murderer was mentally unstable. But, it is not clear whether the terror agents sometime try to hide their fierce nature by pretending like mental patients and reflect those unreal poses by writing diary under a sinister move.

“So far no terror act is apparent as per the initial investigation but a thorough probe is on to rule out any possibility,” he said.

Meanwhile, Director General of Police Dilbag Singh described it as an “extremely unfortunate” incident.
