The accused persons were arrested by Inspector M L Thakur, SHO under the supervision of Additional SP Kishtwar Mr Viplav Kumar, IPS, and SDPO Tajinder Pal Singh. According to police on the ill-fated night of February 22 and 23, 2001, some unknown miscreants sneaked into the house of Nathia Gujjar in Doori Sarthal area and committed murder of Nathia and his wife Lali alias Nali Gujnar with sharp edged weapons. The assailants while fleeing from the spot also took away valuables of the deceased persons. During course of investigation some suspects were rounded up by investigating team of Kishtwar Police Station, whose interrogation led the police to the arrest of real culprits namely Hussain son of Illam Din Gujjar and Mir Hussain son of Pir Baksh of Sarthal area, who had been hiding themselves after committing the crime. Both the accused were subjected to sustained interrogation during which they confessed their crime and also led the police to the seizure of the weapon of offence as also the property stolen by them. It came to light that the accused had committed the murder just to get possession/ownership of the land and other property of the deceased persons as the deceased were childless. Soon after the crime the accused persons tried to shape the incident falsely as that of militancy related crime as a result of which certain papers were misled by the miscreants to carry the news that militants were involved in the murder. Besides the Kishtwar police also arrested two accused persons namely Vidiya Lal son of Ram Lal and Madan Lal son of Vidiya Lal, residents of Kuntwara, who had committed the murder of a boy reading in primary class on the basis of an old rivalry and land dispute.
