Iltija Mufti Charged With Attacking, Biting Cop During PDP Protest

The Story in Brief

Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, has been charged with attacking and biting a police officer during a Peoples Democratic Party protest, NDTV reports. The protest was held on the eve of the seventh anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370.

The charge follows Iltija Mufti’s earlier allegation that an IPS officer assaulted her during the protest. The available reports do not provide details of the police case, the officer involved or the specific sections invoked. They also do not establish either account independently.

The Indian Opinion

The easy narratives are already visible: one side can portray the charge as proof of political impunity, while the other can dismiss Iltija Mufti’s allegation as mere politics. Neither follows from the limited facts available. A fair assessment needs the case details, witness accounts and any video evidence. The immediate test is whether police publish the sections invoked and whether an impartial inquiry examines both claims.
