By Asif Iqbal Naik ,Kishtwar September 23:- SP Kishtwar Bhim Sen Tutti during a public function at Kishtwar blamed local as well as national media for maligning image of Kishtwar District at state and National level by reporting the matter in press. Though SP Kishtwar on one hand side confess during his speech at public address in Kishtwar that Kishtwar police has detain Mohammad Sharief Sheikh of Kwath Kishtwar on the request of other state police as his identity card was found at the site of crime which according to Kishtwar police took place some 1900 KM away from Kishtwar, but on the other hand side put onus on media person for reporting the matter in a session of press linking the incident to some other case. He said that after investigation Mohammad Sharief Sheikh was found innocent and was allowed to go home, but SP Kishtwar did not comment on the 2nd part of the report published in session of press few days ago in which it was clearly mentioned that the investigation was under process and no media report published in session of press found him guilty of any crime. SP Kishtwar with his public speech tries to put whole blame on local media for outburst of news from Kishtwar which includes reporting on last year September 7 blast outside Delhi High Court, murder case of Bollywood Starlet Laila Khan and now the arrest of ISI agent Mehraj-ud-Din. SP Kishtwar in his public speech while blaming media for maligning image of Kishtwar District nationally and internationally did not answer some unanswered question that why Kishtwar police registered FIR against ISI agent Mehraj-ud-Din at Chatroo Kishtwar if he (Mehraj-ud-Din) was arrested from Katra of Reasi District. SP Kishtwar did not elaborate on word “Big catch” referred to arrest of Mehraj-ud-Din by IGP Jammu zone Dilbag Singh during press conference at Jammu soon after the arrest of Mehraj-ud-Din by Kishtwar police was leaked to “Early Times” who first break the news of arrest of Mehraj-ud-Din by Kishtwar police. SP Kishtwar also did not answer that why Kishtwar police produce the accuse Mehraj-ud-Din in court after 4 days of his arrest. The massage of SP Kishtwar blaming local media for maligning image of Kishtwar is not less than an attempt of sedition on part of SP Kishtwar against the local media as SP Kishtwar statement will put the life of the local media persons at risk. This is not a new thing from SP Kishtwar who was fumed with the local media for their unbiased reporting and can be judged from the fact that the mobile phones of almost all the local media persons are being monitored and taped. SP Kishtwar who blaming media for buttering the news only few days ago warned his officers for having any kind of link with media persons.
