JAMMU, Apr 28: Public outrage continued to mount over the mysterious death of a young doctor from Jammu in Doda, as hundreds of people carried out a candle march at Bahu Fort area here today, seeking CBI probe into the case.
Dr Prabhjot Chalotra, a resident of Bahu Fort, was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Gandoh area of Doda district on Apr 20. His body was handed over to the family the next day.
The family has since alleged foul play and questioned the circumstances leading to his death.
The march, organised by the bereaved family, started from the doctor’s residence and passed through Bawe Wali Mata Temple before concluding at Saryara Sabha.
Protesters carrying candles raised slogans seeking justice, while a large number of residents joined the demonstration.
Senior BJP leader Rajeev Charak also joined the protest and demanded a CBI inquiry, saying the truth must come out.
He described the deceased as the sole support of his ageing parents and siblings.
Family members rejected claims of accidental death and alleged several inconsistencies in the case, including missing evidence and formatted mobile phones.
They demanded a transparent and time-bound investigation and vowed to continue the agitation till justice is delivered.
