The Story in Brief
A 12-year-old girl reported missing from Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district was found dead around 200 metres from her home on Sunday, police said. She had gone missing from the Galwanpora area on Saturday evening. Police registered a kidnapping case and began searches before recovering her body the next morning.
Budgam SSP Hariprasad K K said a post-mortem examination had been ordered and that the case appeared prima facie to involve rape and murder. The relevant legal sections were added to the FIR. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the killing, while Kashmir’s chief preacher Mirwaiz Umar Farooq called for a transparent, time-bound investigation and punishment under law.
The Indian Opinion
The predictable claims that outrage alone can deliver justice, or that one horrific crime proves an entire society is beyond repair, both miss the point. The immediate need is a careful investigation, a proper post-mortem and a prosecution that survives scrutiny. Public anger should press authorities to act, not replace evidence or due process. The test is whether police establish the facts and secure a conviction under the applicable law.
