As per reports, Police in India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K) at the Budgam police station registered a case against the family of recently deceased veteran Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for chanting pro-independence slogans.

Prior to burial rituals, the grieving family raised slogans in favour of independence and Pakistan as his body was taken away that was wrapped in the green and white flag of Pakistan.

They were reportedly tortured and locked in a room by Indian forces.
