One officer killed after violent clashes erupt between police, protesters in PoJK.

The situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir escalated into violent clashes between police and activists of a rights movement, resulting in casualties and injuries, including the unfortunate death of Sub-inspector Adnan Qureshi. The protests stem from demands for various rights, including electricity provision, subsidized wheat flour, and an end to elite privileges. Despite government offers for dialogue, tensions persist, with accusations of planted instigators and concerns over the impact on peace and tourism. Political figures like PML-N's Shah Ghulam Qadir and PTI's Omar Ayub have weighed in, urging peaceful resolution and condemning violence.
