Police in Srinagar have registered an FIR against PDP leader Iltija Mufti and her mother, former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, over an August 4 protest against the abrogation of Article 370. The FIR, filed at Kothibagh police station under BNS sections 132, 121, and 191(2), alleges protesters turned aggressive and attacked police, injuring several officers. A police complaint specifically accused Iltija of biting a police inspector's forearm. Iltija appeared before investigators on August 7 and said she was ready to cooperate but would keep fighting for the restoration of Article 370.
