Joint Resistance Leadership comprising both factions of Hurriyat Conference led by Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq besides JKLF led by Mohammad Yasin Malik called for the shutdown today.

“In this matter, while following the procedure laid down in section 176 of CrPC, a magisterial inquiry is underway,” the official said.
Separately, the spokesman said, the police investigation has also been initiated “in the area where the incident happened.”
