The letters addressed to the inspector general of police (security) have been written on behalf of National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti and BJP general secretary (organisation) Ashok Kaul.
The letters, dating to the time when both Abdullah and Mufti were in custody under the Public Safety Act (PSA), recommend a security cover for Imran who was recently released from detention following the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to the erstwhile state.
Abdullah and PDP have termed the letters as fake and demanded investigation by the police.
“To whom it may concern in @JmuKmrPolice police this letter being circulated purportedly from me recommending security for someone is a fake & my signature on it is a forgery. This is a criminal offence & must be investigated. I was in detention on the date in this letter,” Omar posted on Twitter
PDP also termed the letter as “utterly malicious”.
“#Fake Baseless and utterly malicious. Mehbooba Mufti continues to be incarcerated for past more than 10 months now & no such request has been ever made. Request @JmuKmrPolice @Tahir_A (SP Cyber Cell) to take a severe note of this and act accordingly. @HMOIndia,” the PDP said on its official Twitter handle.
