‘Punished for activism at Kashmir University’: Detained student’s family seeks VC’s intervention

Shopian: The family of a Kashmiri student who was booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) last month has appealed Vice-Chancellor Kashmir University to use his good office so that the student could be set free from Central Jail Srinagar.

Aqib Ahmad Malik (26), a second-semester student of Biochemistry at Kashmir University, was summoned by police at Nigeen police station in Srinagar on July 24 for questioning in a case registered in 2018.

Malik, who hails from Pinjora village of South Kashmir’s Shopian district, was detained in Police station Nigeen and subsequently booked under UAPA, an anti-terror law.

Bilal Ahmed, the uncle of Aqib told Kashmir News Trust that he has been shifted from Nigeen Police Station to Srinagar Central Jail. He said on 25 August, the hearing of his case was postponed due to absence of Judge in the court.

“He was punished for his activism at the University of Kashmir. We met VC Kashmir University and he assured us all possible help but did nothing so far.”

“He is languishing in Central Jail Srinagar and his career is at stake,” he said holding University administration responsible for his arrest.

He said Aqib was arrested because he always raised his voice against the corruption in University and even one of the proctors got him arrested after an argument. “We bailed him out after two days from Central Jail Srinagar that time,” he said.

The family has sought the intervention of Vice-Chancellor so that Aqib’s career could be saved. KNT
