Move comes a day after top cop Hemant Lohia's murder allegedly by his house help
Mobile internet has been suspended in parts of Jammu, where a top police officer was murdered last night, and neighbouring Rajouri district, just ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's rally. The Jammu and Kashmir administration has cited potential “misuse by miscreants” for the suspension until 7 pm today.
Amit Shah arrived in Jammu late last evening, on a day when the UT's Director General of Police (DGP) in charge of prisons, Hemant Lohia, was murdered allegedly by his house help. Police have so far found no terror link to this murder.
There have, however, been two terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir over the past week.
Before a security review meet in Srinagar tomorrow, Mr Shah is to address a rally in Rajouri district of Jammu region today, where he is expected to announce Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Pahari community in the union territory. His other rally, tomorrow, is in Baramulla town of north Kashmir.
