Parra being tortured, kept in inhuman condition: Mehbooba

The Hindu  

Peoples Democratic Party president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday alleged that the J&K Police was “torturing” the incarcerated PDP youth president Waheed Ur Rehmaan Parra and keeping him in “inhuman conditions”. Describing the investigation against Mr. Parra as “politically motivated”, Ms. Mufti said, “The institutions meant to uphold law and order bring disrepute by getting involved in these deceitful investigations. This year, Mr. Parra, who was granted bail by an NIA court, was re-arrested by the J&K Police’s special wing, Counter-Insurgency Kashmir, in a case related to “militant-politician nexus”. Drawing a parallel between the concertina wires and trenches dug around farmer protests in Delhi and the “worst siege” in J&K since August 2019, she said the scale of suppression in J&K was unimaginable.
