POONCH, Aug 28: In a significant breakthrough, District Police Poonch has solved a sensational blind murder case of a woman within 48 hours, arresting the main accused and recovering the weapon of offence.
In the case, husband of the deceased woman has turned out to be the killer.
On August 25, 2025, Police Station Loran received a missing report regarding Hajra Bi, wife of Abdul Ghani, resident of Chikriban, who had gone to graze goats but did not return home. At the spot, a goat was also found dead under suspicious circumstances, prompting immediate police action.

To unearth the murder mystery, ASP Poonch, Mohan Sharma constituted a special team headed by SHO Loren Naveet Anjum. With relentless investigation supported by technical and human intelligence, the special team identified and arrested husband of the deceased, Abdul Ghani, son of Abdul Aziz, resident of Chikriban, as the prime accused.
