The FIR, quoting the police official, sheds light on the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the need for immediate cognizance to be taken. The subsequent investigation, under the purview of Sub-Inspector Sudershan Kumar, underscores the earnestness with which the matter is being pursued.

As Kathua finds itself thrust into the political limelight, with the impending polls poised to shape its future, the FIR against Choudhary Lal Singh adds another layer of complexity to an already dynamic narrative.
