# FIRs filed over alleged assault during Srinagar Article 370 protest 2026-08-06T22:56:47+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Srinagar Police have registered a case after a 4 August protest against the abrogation of Article 370, alleging that PDP leader Iltija Mufti assaulted an officer and bit his forearm during a scuffle. The officer was treated at a hospital, police said. Iltija has been summoned to Kothibagh police station for investigation. The two reports differ on the FIR’s scope. Greater Kashmir, citing a police statement, names Iltija, while Hindustan Times reports that the case also names PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti under three Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections. Iltija told Hindustan Times that police manhandled her, causing bruises, and said she had not received a summons. The PDP called the case a misuse of power and sought CCTV footage. ## Coverage - greaterkashmir.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Article 370, Iltija Mufti, PDP, police FIR, Srinagar Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/srinagar-police-book-iltija-mufti-over-alleged-assault-during-protest/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
