J&K Police Refute Allegation Of Forcefully Burying Syed Ali Shah Geelani, FIR Filed For Draping Hurriyat Leader's Body In Pakistan's Flag

Videos showing funeral of separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani have been posted on social media. The videos were uploaded by the Jammu & Kashmir police. The 91-year-old leader was given a quiet burial. The videos were released following rumours that he was buried without the mandatory ablution & shrouding after his body was forcibly taken away by the police from his family. Geelani was buried before dawn & his family couldn't perform his last rites. The Kashmir Police, however, defended the move saying the family had, at first, agreed to a night burial, but later changed its mind, forcing the police's hand. Kashmir Police tweeted, “including wrapping dead body in Pakistani flag, making loud sloganeering in favour of Pakistan and instigating neighbours to come out.” The police had filed a case under the anti-terror Unlawful Activities Prevention Act against some of Geelani's relatives for wrapping his body in a Pakistan flag.
