The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday apprehended Yasir Ahmed, the prime accused in the murder of the Director General of Prisons, HK Lohia who was found dead under suspicious circumstances in a house in the Udaywala area of Jammu.
He said the three districts, Jammu, Samba, and Kathua, were more vulnerable to cross-border infiltration of terrorists. Officers of CRPF, intelligence agencies, and J&K Police attended the meeting.
A red alert has already been sounded and security beefed up to thwart any mischief of Pakistani agencies around the Independence Day.
This came as Mukesh Singh, one of the four death-row convicts in the Nirbhaya case sought an urgent hearing in the Supreme Court on his plea against the dismissal of his mercy plea by the President earlier today.
This comes just hours after the Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday night forwarded the mercy petition of the convict to Rashtrapati Bhavan urging the President to reject the plea.
Delhi’s Patiala House Court had on January 7 issued death warrants against all the four convicts in the 2012 case, according to which the convicts are to be hanged at 7 am on January 22.
