Srinagar, February 17: The chairman of Islamic Students League (ISL) Shakeel Ahmad Bakshi was arrested from his office in Batamaloo locality in Srinagar.
Reports said police personnel from the Special Operations Group (SOG) raided Bakshi’s office at 3:30 pm and arrested him. He has been taken to some unknown destination.
The police said FIR No. 108 of 2008- 2009 was pending against him. He was charged under section 53-A CRPC.
“Why he was not arrested since then,” questioned Bakshi’s close aide.
“The FIR is an excuse to arrest him. Actually his appearance on Facebook is irking the authorities,” he added.
Bakshi is known for his modesty and his never compromising “stand”. Earlier he served as General Secretary of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front, however later he split and formed ISL. He is unmarried and has devoted his entire life to “resistance struggle.”
Meanwhile, a police official said they were collecting FIRs against Bakshi to prepare a dossier for PSA. “But there is only one recent case at Batamaloo police station for which he has been detained. There is nothing incriminating lying against him”.
