Congress Leader G M Saroori Produces Himself Before NIA For Questioning In Jammu

Senior Congress leader and former minister G M Saroori on Tuesday produced himself before the National Investigation Agency here for questioning in connection with a series of terrorist attacks in Kishtwar district. Saroori, 67, who is Jammu and Kashmir Congress vice president and three-time legislator from Inderwal constituency, was served a notice under Section 160 CrPC by the probe agency, asking him to appear before it to answer "certain questions" relating to a case registered by NIA in the district in 2018. "I don't know why I was summoned under section 160 CrPC… Do you think I have any connection with Hizbul Mujahideen or Osama (a slain terrorist)," Saroori told reporters outside the NIA office. The communally sensitive Kishtwar had been rocked by a series of terror incidents since November 2018 after the hilly district was declared terrorism-free over a decade ago.
