The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday handed over copies of electronic and documentary evidence to pro-Pakistani separatist and Dukhtaran-e-Millat head Asiya Andrabi in a case against her for allegedly waging war against the country.
The NIA supplied the documents, filed along with the chargesheet, to Andrabi and her accomplices — Sofi Fehmeeda and Naheeda Nasreen — on the court’s directions.
The agency also informed Special Judge Rakesh Syal that a report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), Chandigarh, was awaited and will be handed over to her later.
The accused, who were produced before the court, are currently lodged in Tihar jail under judicial custody. The court has now put up the matter for further hearing on March 5 for scrutiny of documents.
The three were arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in April, and the case was later transferred to the NIA in July.
According to the NIA, Andrabi, Fehmeeda and Nasreen were using various social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and TV channels, including some in Pakistan, to spread “insurrectionary imputations and hateful messages and speeches against India”.
It had said the Dukhtaran-E-Millat, a banned terrorist organisation, through Andrabi and others openly advocates secession of Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India and its merger with Pakistan through violent means.
