SRINAGAR: A local court has rejected the bail application of the accused involved in the alleged abetment of the brutal murder of a 10-year-old child in Lolpora, Kunzer, in a case that has shocked the region. The Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMIC) at Tangmarg passed the order on Tuesday, stating that the nature of the offence was grave and beyond the court’s jurisdiction to consider bail. The murder, which occurred on June 12, 2025, drew widespread outrage and sparked calls for swift justice.
Senior Prosecuting Officer, Saalim Javid, appeared on behalf of the prosecution and strongly opposed the bail plea. He argued that the severity of the crime, coupled with the accused’s alleged role in abetting the offence, warranted continued custody to prevent interference with the investigation and to uphold the rule of law.
After hearing the arguments and examining the case material, the court noted the seriousness of the allegations and rejected the bail plea accordingly.
The prosecution’s resolute opposition to bail has been seen as a reflection of the justice system’s commitment to standing with the victims of heinous crimes, particularly those involving violence against children.
