Jammu: Close on the heels of the killing of three girls ostensibly to enforce a diktat on wearing burqa, militants beheaded another woman in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir on December 20 night, police said on December 21.

Militants 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 Thanamandi village in the district.

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