Omar Abdullah dares cops to book PDP MLA Mohammad Ashraf Mir

Outgoing Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday dared the police to register a case against PDP MLA from Sonawar Mohammad Ashraf Mir after a video surfaced purportedly showing him firing several rounds from an automatic rifle on the day of Assembly poll results. “So will J&K police register a case against the gun toting MLA or will they be too scared in case he’s a minister a few days from now?” Omar asked on micro-blogging site Twitter.

I wonder what they would have fired!” the National Conference working president wrote further. Mir defeated Omar from Sonawar assembly segment by a margin of over 4,700 votes, becoming the first politician in Jammu and Kashmir to register a victory over an incumbent Chief Minister. PTI
