Chatroo minor rape-death case:Crime Branch raids 2 accuseds residences
In a significant development in the Chatroo minor rape-and-death case, the Crime Branch on Wednesday morning conducted searches at the residences of two accused persons, identified as Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain, in the Gurinal area of Chatroo in Kishtwar district, as part of its ongoing investigation, officials said. The searches were carried out after the case was formally transferred to the Crime Branch by the Jammu and Kashmir administration following sustained protests and demands from residents and various groups for an impartial and comprehensive investigation. Officials familiar with the development said that the searches were aimed at locating and examining material and documentary evidence that could assist investigators in reconstructing the sequence of events and establishing the alleged role of the accused and other persons connected with the case. The Crime Branch is also examining evidence collected during the earlier investigation. The case relates to the death of a minor girl in the Chatroo area, which had triggered widespread outrage and protests across the region. FIR number 34/2026 was initially registered at Police Station Chatroo, and the investigation was subsequently expanded with provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other applicable laws invoked during the course of the probe. The case had witnessed a series of protests, shutdowns, candle marches and sit-in demonstrations in Chatroo, with protesters demanding that the investigation be transferred to an independent agency and that every person allegedly involved be brought to justice. During the earlier investigation, seven persons were arrested in connection with the case, including the alleged prime accused and others whose suspected roles came under scrutiny. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was also constituted by the police to investigate the matter before the government decided to hand over the case to the Crime Branch amid continued public demands for a broader and independent probe. Following the transfer, the Crime Branch formally began its investigation and has since been examining the circumstances leading to the minor girl's death, the evidence collected so far and the alleged involvement of different individuals. The latest searches at the residences of Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain are being viewed as part of the agency's efforts to strengthen the evidence in the case. Investigators are also likely to question persons associated with the case and conduct further searches, if required, as the investigation progresses. The incident has continued to evoke strong public sentiment in Chatroo and adjoining areas, with residents demanding a fair and time-bound investigation and stringent legal action against anyone found responsible.

Sri Adhikari Brothers and Prasar Bharati are set to revive the iconic crime thriller Suraag with Suraag 2.0. The makers have now unveiled the first look of the reboot, with the series slated to premiere soon on DD National. The revival brings together Sri Adhikari Brothers and Doordarshan once again, marking a return to the platform that played an important role in the production house's early journey in Indian television.

The new series is expected to retain the essence of the original while adopting a contemporary approach to storytelling and presentation. The collaboration is also significant for Sri Adhikari Brothers as it marks a reunion with Doordarshan. The production house and the public broadcaster have been associated with several programmes that became part of Indian television's popular culture, particularly during the medium's formative years. Commenting on the revival, Sri Adhikari Brothers MD Kailasnath Adhikari said, Our reunion also comes at a time when audiences are increasingly rediscovering iconic Indian television shows, making Suraag 2.0 a perfect meeting point between nostalgia and contemporary entertainment. We are proud of our legendary association with Prasar Bharati and we shall always strive to bring the best entertainment to our audiences. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SAI KETAN RAO (@saiketanrao) Director and creator Ravi Adhikari also spoke about the creative approach behind the reboot. He said, Suraag 2.0 is not just a revival; it is our attempt to bring the spirit of the original to a new generation. We're retaining what made Suraag special while giving it a contemporary storytelling language and treatment. With Suraag 2.0, Sri Adhikari Brothers and Prasar Bharati are looking to combine the nostalgia associated with the original series with a modern crime-drama format. The show will air on DD National, with its premiere date expected to be announced soon.
