Srinagar: A police case has been registered against the draping of the body of hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani in a Pakistani flag after his death Wednesday. The general FIR has been registered by the Budgam police but no arrest made so far.
Giving further detail, the police said a case has been registered under the strict anti-terror law Unlawful Activities Prevention Act or UAPA.
The body of the separatist leader, who died Wednesday night at his Hyderpora residence after prolonged illness, was draped in a flag of the neighbouring country before it was buried at a graveyard in a nearby mosque.
Notably, the purported videos surfaced after broadband internet and phone services were restored in Kashmir on Friday night. Mobile internet service, however, remain blocked. The police have also enforced restrictions to prevent gatherings.
It must be noted that the 92-year-old pro-Pakistan separatist died on Wednesday evening. And death followed a security clampdown and suspension of phone and internet services in Kashmir.
