SRINAGAR: J&K police filed a chargesheet on Saturday against a man from north Kashmir’s Bandipora district who was arrested two days ago for tweeting provocative, anti-government posts, while a case was lodged against a UK-based suspected Pakistani spy agency mole for adverse remarks against India.
Police said the chargesheet against Sajad Ahmad Dar of Shahgund in Bandipora’s Hajin was submitted at a local court. Dar is accused of operating a Twitter handle under the pseudonym Hundreds of Gull in which he uploads bogus anti-government news and posts.
“Last year, he instigated residents against the revenue department’s anti-encroachment drive in his village. He stopped officials from discharging their duty,” a cop said. An FIR was registered against him following his resistance to the drive.
He has also been accused of tweeting fake news about a recent anti-terrorism operation in Gund Jahangir of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district in which terrorist Imtiyaz Ahmad was killed. His tweets had allegedly incited the general public to protest against the security forces. Then again, when terrorist Saleem Parray was killed in Srinagar this January, Hundreds is accused of uploading videos that purportedly showed the slain man’s women relatives shouting anti-India slogans in his native Hajin.
In another case, an FIR was lodged at Kothi Bagh police station in Srinagar against Muzamil Ayub Thakur, a UK-based suspected mole of Pakistan’s ISI, following lawyer Syed Zeeshan’s complaint that he was inciting people through harmful social media remarks to commit offences against India. The Srinagar lawyer alleged that Ayub has been doing the ISI’s bidding and was involved in multiple cases of cybercrime against India.
