RAJOURI JAN, 18:-Panic spread in the Tandwal area of the Rajouri Municipal Council after a woman was found tied and packed inside a plastic bag at an isolated location, crying for help.

According to reports, residents of Ward No. 13 (Tandwal) heard a woman screaming from bushes near the Radha Krishan Temple. When they reached the spot, they found an unknown woman calling out for assistance. The matter was immediately brought to the notice of former sarpanch Yogesh Sharma, who, along with others, reached the spot and informed the police.

On reaching the location, police found that the woman’s hands and legs were tied with cloth and that she had been confined inside a large plastic bag and dumped at the deserted place.

Acting swiftly, the police rescued the woman and shifted her to the Associated Hospital, GMC Rajouri (AHGMC), for medical treatment.

After regaining consciousness, the woman identified herself as Azeem Akhtar (45), wife of Sabar Khan, a resident of Kakora village in Manjakote tehsil.

Sources said that in her preliminary statement to the police, Azeem Akhtar stated that she had come to Rajouri for some work and had boarded an auto-rickshaw. Thereafter, she does not remember what happened and regained consciousness only after reaching AHGMC Rajouri.

The police have informed her family and initiated further investigation into the incident.

“The condition of the patient is stable after initial treatment. Surgical, physical, and gynaecological examinations are underway. Further details will be shared after the test reports are received,” said Medical Superintendent AHGMC Rajouri, Dr. S. Choudhary.
