Srinagar: Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has demanded releasing of jailed hurriyat leader Shahidul Islam on humanitarian grounds as his wife has suffered a brain haemorrhage.
Mufti took to Twitter and said that she has spoken to Home Minister of India over the issue.
Islam is detained in Tihar Jail following his detention by National Investigation Agency along with other Hurriyat leaders in an alleged ‘terror funding case’.
I share your concern for Shahid Ul Islam. Have spoken with HM requesting his early release on humanitarian grounds as the wife has suffered a brain haemorrhage. https://t.co/onrDfnY05Z
