HC seeks status report on Farooq case

The J&K high court on Monday directed the police to file a status report within three weeks on a probe into an allegedly seditious speech by Farooq Abdullah at an event on February 28, 2017.
A writ petition filed by social activist Sukesh C Khajuria had sought action against Farooq for his “pro-freedom” speech during a rally to mark the birth anniversary of his father, Sheikh Abdullah. Appearing for the petitioner, advocate Sheikh Shakeel Ahmed said his client had been asked to produce relevant material in the form of newspaper clippings and videos, if any, containing proof of the inflammatory speech allegedly made by Farooq. The petitioner submitted several newspaper clippings and a compact disc on August 30, he added.
