The Jammu Kashmir Police has posted a series of tweets to denounce the claims made by the Sehar, daughter of Hurriyat leader Shabir Ahmed Shah, languishing in jail since 2017.
Earlier, the daughter of the separatist leader had claimed that the Government forces raided the house of a senior separatist leader in the Srinagar district of central Kashmir ahead of the G20 meeting in the valley.
“This video shows army men, black cat commandos leaving my home and the damage they caused following this massive devastating raid,” Sehar wrote in a tweet. She wrote that her mother was accompanying half of them while they searched the top level of the house and the rest were checking the ground floor and other rooms. “They destroyed the drawing room’s furnishings and scattered objects all over,” she wrote in a tweet.

Posting the visuals from the CCTV footages from inside the house, Sehar wrote, “The visuals when army and black cat commandos climbed the walls and jumped inside; entering our house through our kitchen garden,” she said. Sehar asked claimed that, “If this was because of G20, This is the highest level of harassment we faced today.”
"IF THIS WAS BECAUSE OF G20 THIS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF HARASSMENT WE FACED TODAY"

Jammu Kashmir Police has posted a thread of tweets to denounce the claims made by Shabir Shah’s daughter. The Police said that at least twenty houses were raided and nobody was harassed during the incident.
“There are tweets by daughter of separatist Shabbir Shah claiming harassment during search operation. It is clarified that it was search of 20 houses, when inputs of movement of terrorists in this locality came. This has nothing to do with G-20 but is routine in case of inputs,” Police said in a tweet.

No harassment/harm whatsoever was caused during this search & all SOPs were followed. The lady is strangely linking this with G-20, more strange is an ex CM linking this too with event, when she herself was privy to such search in particular locality due to terrorist sighting
The search team was having 3 DySPs, 4 lady officials & others. Such attempts of forwarding malicious agenda of attributing routine security measures to an event by family of a separatist undergoing Jail in a terror funding case shows sheer frustration of some vested interests.
