According to Beyond Time News, authorities took action after Iltija Mufti shared a video on X (formerly Twitter). The clip featured the late Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Gilani and quickly drew official attention.
Police said FIR No. 11 has been registered under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), a law linked to actions seen as a threat to national sovereignty and unity. The case also includes unidentified individuals accused of sharing and promoting the video online.

The development has added to the ongoing discussion around digital rights, social media regulation, and the limits of political expression in Kashmir.
