The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are feeding a familiar script. Police say they were attacked; the PDP produces photos of bruises and claims video proof that a woman IPS officer hit first and that CCTV went missing. The public is left with claims, not evidence. For an ordinary reader, the real test is whether video footage surfaces in court. Until a judge sees it, every assertion stays a headline. Watch for the CCTV or the officers' body cameras to be produced or explained.
