Woman beheaded in J&K for not wearing burqa

Press Trust of India Jammu, December 21

Close on the heels of the killing of three girls ostensibly to enforce a diktat on wearing burqa, terrorists beheaded another woman in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday night, police said on Saturday. Terrorists barged into the house of Jan Begum, 43, in Darhal area and beheaded her, they said.

The incident came in less than 24 hours of killing of three girls between 21 and 23 years in a Thanamandi village in the district.

Terrorists have warned women against attending schools or colleges and directed them to wear burqa.
