CID letter intimidation tactic to threaten me into silence: Mehbooba’s daughter

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”.
