HAVELI AZAD KASHMIR: (Azadi Times Editorial) The tragic murder of a young woman by a wealthy and influential man has once again highlighted the need for justice for all, regardless of their social status.
The victim, a 20-year-old woman, was allegedly blackmailed and raped by the accused, Raja Adil Kiani. When the victim’s family tried to seek help from the police, they were allegedly threatened by the accused. The victim’s father eventually arranged for her to be married off to someone else, but she was still being harassed by the accused.
In a desperate attempt to protect herself, the victim went to the police again. However, she was again turned away. The accused is reportedly close to the local police and political officials, and they were unwilling to take action against him.

No state grants. No corporate lobby. Just ground‑truth reporting from Kashmir & beyond
You make this possible.
The victim’s family is now in a state of despair. They have lost their daughter and they feel that justice will never be served.
This case is a reminder that the rich and powerful can use their influence to get away with crime. It is also a reminder that the police and other law enforcement agencies must be impartial and uphold the law, regardless of who the accused is.
We urge the authorities to take action against the accused and bring him to justice. We also urge the public to stand up for the victim’s family and demand justice. No one is above the law, and everyone deserves to be treated fairly.
The victim’s death is a tragedy, but it is also an opportunity for us to come together and demand justice. We must stand up for the rights of all women, regardless of their social status. We must ensure that the perpetrators of such crimes are brought to justice and that the victims’ families receive the support they need.
We can no longer allow the rich and powerful to use their influence to get away with crime. We must demand that the law be applied equally to everyone, regardless of their social status. We must stand up for justice, for the victim, for her family, and for all women.
