Relatives of late Kashmir separatist leader charged under anti-terror law

Son of Syed Ali Shah Geelani alleges police in Indian-controlled area snatched body and carried out burial without family present

Police in Indian-controlled Kashmir have charged family members of the late resistance leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani under an anti-terrorism law for wrapping his body in the Pakistani flag and raising anti-India slogans, officials said on Sunday.

Geelani, who died on Wednesday at the age of 91, was a leading figure in Kashmir's defiance against New Delhi and had been under house arrest for years.
