FIR Filed Against 47 Individuals in Muzaffarabad Over Lynching Incident

Date:

By Staff Reporter Muzaffarabad, October 7, 2025 — An FIR has been registered in Muzaffarabad against 47 individuals, including prominent local figure Raja Saqib Majeed, his four brothers, and his son, following the death of Sudheer, who was killed during a violent attack reportedly carried out by workers affiliated with the Muslim Conference.

The case was filed by Sudheer’s father, who accused the suspects of direct involvement in his son’s killing. The FIR includes Section 302 (murder) and several other clauses of the Pakistan Penal Code, but notably, no provisions under the Anti-Terrorism Act have been added.

Human rights observers and political analysts have expressed concern over the omission of terrorism charges, arguing that the nature of the attack and its political motivation merit a stronger legal response.

Authorities have yet to confirm whether any of the accused have been detained, while local groups are calling for a transparent investigation and accountability for all involved.
