Srinagar: Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti and her daughter Iltija, who is also a daughter of the president of PDP, have accused that they were put on house arrest.
According to Iltija Mufti, the administration tried to cage them in their house by shutting their home’s gate. In a gate photograph she posted, she stated, “My mother and I both have been placed under house arrest. Our gates have been locked up because she was meant to visit Sopore where Waseem Mir was shot dead by the army. I intended to visit Kathua today to meet Makhan Din’s family today and am not being allowed to even move out.”
In her comments she added, “In Kashmir, nothing has changed even after elections. Now even trying to console victims’ families has become a taboo.” In her post, she mentioned those people alongside the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
But the police have not addressed the imposed house arrest statements nor have they provided any clarification about it.
This follows the killing of two civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, which has caused furious responses from various politicians. In Baramulla, a civilian truck driver from Sopore, Waseem Mir, was shot and killed by the Army on Thursday after he allegedly refused to stop at a checkpoint. Similarly, another civilian, Makhan Din, was discovered dead under questionable conditions after he was interrogated by the police for being allegedly involved as an overground worker for the militants in Jammu’s Kathua district.
In what he purportedly tried to make look like suicide, Makhan Din recorded his final moments through a video and shared it on various social media platforms where he claimed security forces had subjected him to ‘brutal torture’ and expressed his incapacity to endure further suffering.
