J&K police detains journalist for spreading ‘anti-national content’
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir police detained a journalist, Hilal Mir, for allegedly spreading “anti-national content”.
Mir was detained by the police’s counter-intelligence unit and his digital devices, including a mobile phone and laptop, were seized, as reported by The Indian Express.
The police called Mir a “radical social media user” and said that he “used to disseminate extremist/distorted content with an intention to disturb peace and promote disaffection and secessionist ideology and present India in a bad shape”.
A journalist for over two decades, Mir has worked with several local and national news publications. Police accused Mir of being “actively engaged in posting and sharing content aimed at inciting sentiments among young minds and instigating secessionist sentiment by portraying Kashmiris as victims of systemic extermination.”
Police further alleged he “was found in touch with some suspected foreign-based cell numbers involved in suspicious activities, presumably taking dictation from the adversary for disturbing the peace and tranquillity in the Valley, which is a matter of investigation,” added the report.
They said his posts reflect a “veiled attempt to cultivate public resentment, which is a threat to security/sovereignty.”
As per reports, he has been sent to preventive detention till May 13 and has been lodged in Srinagar’s Central Jail.
