Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Police are facing criticism from PDP chief Omar Abdullah over allegations of assault against a police officer. Omar accused the police of orchestrating a "fixed match" to restore the credibility of the PDP. Iltija Mufti, the daughter of PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, was called to the Kothibagh police station in Srinagar for questioning regarding her alleged assault on an officer during a protest on August 4-5.
The police claim that Iltija bit the forearm of an officer, causing injury. Omar dismissed the allegations, stating that if Iltija were a five-year-old child, she wouldn't have bitten someone. He further suggested that the entire episode is an attempt to distract people from real issues. Iltija, however, maintained that she is willing to cooperate with the investigation, clarifying that her fight is not personal and she is there to fight for all Kashmiris.
Iltija was booked under various sections of the Black Notice (Narcotics) Act for assault on public servants and rioting.
