Srinagar, In a recent crackdown in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, APHC leader Firdous Ahmad Shah was arrested by Indian police. The arrest occurred during a house raid in the Abiguzar area of Srinagar, escalating tensions in the region.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the arrest of Firdous Ahmad Shah is part of ongoing operations by Indian authorities in the region. Shah, a prominent leader of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), was taken into custody and subsequently moved to Central Jail Srinagar. The circumstances surrounding the raid and the specific reasons for Shah’s arrest have not been disclosed by the police.
This incident adds to the growing concerns about the suppression of political activities in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. The APHC has been vocal in advocating for the rights of Kashmiris and seeking a peaceful resolution to the region’s longstanding issues.
The arrest of a high-profile political figure like Firdous Ahmad Shah is likely to draw significant attention and could provoke further unrest in the already volatile region.
