Father of a youth slapped with FIR for demanding son’s body: Mehbooba Mufti

SRINAGAR — Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday criticised the authorities for slapping FIR against a person for demanding body of his son.

Mehbooba, in a tweet, said, “After losing his son in an alleged fake encounter, Athar Mushtaq’s father has been slapped with an FIR for demanding his dead body.”

“His crime was to stage a peaceful protest. The inhabitants of Naya Kashmir can’t even question a callous admin & have been reduced to living corpses,” she added.
