Srinagar, Apr 20 : A woman photojournalist working in Kashmir was on Monday booked for allegedly posting anti-national content on social media with the intention to “incite the youth” and promote “offences against tranquillity”, police said.
The development comes close on the heels of police summoning senior journalist Peerzada Ashiq, working for a national daily, over a story he had filed recently.
“A case has been registered against Masrat Zahra for uploading anti-national posts with criminal intention to induce the youth and promote offences against tranquillity,” a police official said.
The police officials, however, refused to comment any further on the FIR registered against the photojournalist or the summoning of senior journalist Peerzada Ashiq.
Ashiq was summoned by the police on Sunday in two different districts of Kashmir within a span of six hours to explain his position regarding one of his news reports. |
