Iltija Mufti Questioned by Police for Two Hours in Srinagar
Police questioning a political leader after protests raises concerns about suppression.
On August 7, 2026, Iltija Mufti, leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was questioned by Jammu and Kashmir Police at Kothibagh Police Station in Srinagar for about two hours following an FIR filed under Sections 132, 121, and 191(2) on August 6. The questioning came a day after street protests marking the seventh anniversary of Article 370's abrogation. PDP president Mehbooba Mufti alleged the police action was to silence them and instill fear among Kashmiris raising issues related to Article 370. J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah described the arrest as a "fixed match" aimed at diverting attention from previous controversies within PDP.
