Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, on Tuesday said she was being “intimidated” by the police for putting up a fight in the High Court to get her passport. Earlier, she was granted a country-specific passport only.
Ms. Mufti alleged that the Jammu and Kashmir police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) sent her a letter recently over the statements she made about “being pressured to withdraw her court petition”.
The CID, in a formal communication to Ms. Mufti, said it wanted to “find out the veracity of her statements and probe the allegations so as to meet the principles of natural justice”.
