Rajouri: Citizen Alleges Police Influence Blocking Justice

GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

RAJOURI SEPT 21:- A resident of village Nerojal, Mohammad Irfan Bhatti Qadri, has alleged that he has been denied justice due to the influence of a police official.

Bhatti stated that on September 15, 2025, he was brutally assaulted by a group of individuals, leaving him unconscious. During the attack, his mobile phone and cash amounting to ₹1 lakh were allegedly snatched. Eyewitnesses informed the City Police Post, and he was subsequently shifted to GMC Rajouri, where he regained consciousness several hours later.

Despite multiple eyewitnesses, Bhatti claimed that the police neither recorded his statement nor registered an FIR. He further alleged that he was not even provided with an MLC number. “In ordinary assault cases, police act swiftly, but in my case, no action has been taken,” he said, adding that he has remained hospitalized since the day of the incident.

According to him, the inaction stems from attempts to shield a police wireless operator and his family, who he alleges are directly involved in the assault and enjoy undue influence over the police department.

Bhatti has appealed to the Lieutenant Governor’s administration and senior police authorities to transfer the said official out of Rajouri to prevent misuse of police machinery in personal disputes. He expressed hope that higher authorities would intervene to ensure justice.
