| FIR by city police against Mehbooba Mufti and Iltija Mufti on 370 | | is a blatant misuse of power and authority | Srinagar, August 06 (Scoop News)-On 4 August, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti led a peaceful candlelight protest outside the PDP office to mark the seventh anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370. The City Police (East) restricted her and PDP workers from proceeding further.
During the protest, Iltija Mufti walked alone towards the main road carrying a placard against the abrogation of Article 370, where she was intercepted and stopped by police personnel. During the intervention, she was allegedly manhandled by a woman IPS officer of SP rank, along with other police personnel and her own PSO. The officer allegedly instructed the male PSO to use force against her, following which she was dragged by male police personnel.
The woman officer allegedly assaulted the PDP leader and used excessive force while preventing her peaceful protest. We have eyewitnesses to the incident and intend to place the matter before a court of law.
Such actions by responsible police officers are illegal, disproportionate, and wholly uncalled for. We strongly condemn the conduct of the police personnel involved and demand appropriate action against those responsible for allegedly manhandling a political leader during a peaceful protest.
