NIA Court Denies Bail to Shabir Shah in 1996 Srinagar Violence Case
A special NIA court has rejected separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah's bail plea in a 1996 case involving violence during a funeral procession in Srinagar. The court cited concerns over national security and potential interference with trial proceedings. Shah was arrested in April after being released on bail from other NIA cases, including terror funding. The case involves charges under the Ranbir Penal Code, UAPA, and Arms Act, with allegations of stone-pelting and firing during the procession.
