Jammu: The police on Sunday shifted Rukhsana Kausar, the young Kashmiri girl who shot dead a dreaded LeT terrorist at her residence in Rajouri last week, to district police line there after she expressed fears over her safety.
"Rukhsana's family has been shifted from remote
Kalsia-Thanamdani belt to high security DPL. Two police
quarters have been given to the 12-member family as a security
measure," a police officer said.
"My family should be shifted from here. They should be
given some accommodation at Rajouri and security should be
provided them there. We are unsafe here now," 22-year-old
Rukhsana had told reporters in Rajouri on Friday before
leaving for New Delhi where she was felicitated.
"Now, militants can target us again. This security
would not be sufficient as they want to take revenge from us",
she said.
Police has not only provided them housing facilities,
but also mobile escorts for their movement with personal
security officers (PSOs).
The children of the family and Rukhsana have been
provided with 2 PSOs and they are being given security by
mobile escorts where ever they move in the area.
