Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, had her X account withheld in India following a legal demand by Jammu and Kashmir Cyber Police. The action relates to an FIR filed over a video she shared featuring late separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani discussing the importance of Urdu. Authorities allege the content promotes separatist ideology and threatens public order. The investigation is ongoing, and Mufti has taken responsibility for the post while expressing unawareness of the reasons for the account restriction.
