The claim of political detainees being manhandled has strongly been refuted by Imtiyaz Hussain, a police officer in Jammu and Kashmir. The political detainees including Shah Faesal, Sajad Lone and Waheed Para were alleged to be manhandled claimed Iltija Mufti, daughter of Mehbooba Mufti. Mehbooba's daughter who assumed control of her mother's Twitter handle after she was detained, took to the microblogging site and claimed that the incident occurred while the political detainees were being shifted to the MLA hostel in Srinagar.

IItija Mufti alleged the manhandling in a series of tweets
SKICC detainees shifted to MLA hostel, Srinagar today. Police manhandled them & roughed up Sajad Lone, Waheed Para & Shah Faesal. Is this how you treat elected representatives? Why humiliate them? J&K is under martial law & police seems be inebriated with power

The same Waheed Para whose work for strengthening democracy in J&K was lauded by former Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh.The very same Shah Faesal who was called Kashmir’s role model when he topped UPSC exam. Once appreciated & now humiliated. Why?

Sajad Lone, former separatist turned mainstream political leader stuck his neck out for PM in 2014 when there was no palpable Modi wave. Lone sahabs aged mother refuses to leave srinagar despite the crippling cold because her son is jailed. Is this humane?

'Manhandling started when Sajad Lone was repeatedly frisked & asked to undress'
Manhandling started when Sajad Lone was repeatedly frisked & asked to undress. New jail windows are blocked with wood,lacks heaters & has surveillance jammers. If a man who PM Modi called his younger brother is being humiliated like this, imagine plight of others

The J&K police officer refuted the allegations
Apropos some twitter handle claiming manhandling of some people at MLA hostel Srinagar,it is hereby clarified that no such incident has taken place. Mandatory security drills were followed as required for lodgement.
