J&K’s Only AAP MLA Mehraj Malik Booked for Threatening, Abusing Woman Doctor
In a shocking turn of events, Jammu and Kashmir’s only Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA, Mehraj Malik, has been booked by the police for allegedly threatening and abusing a woman doctor. The incident has sent shockwaves across the state, with many calling for Malik’s immediate resignation.
According to the police complaint filed by the woman doctor, working at a government medical college in Doda, Malik made “abusive, gendered and derogatory remarks” against her online. The doctor alleged that Malik threatened to drag her and strip her naked, leaving her feeling traumatized and scared.
The police investigation into the matter began after the doctor filed a complaint with the police, stating that Malik had been harassing her online for several days. The doctor, who has chosen to remain anonymous, alleged that Malik had been using his social media platform to make personal attacks on her, and had even threatened to take legal action against her.
“We have booked MLA Mehraj Malik under sections 354-D (stalking), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC,” said a police officer, adding that Malik had been summoned to the police station for questioning.
Malik, who is the MLA from the Doda constituency, has denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the allegations are “baseless and fabricated”. In a statement, he said, “I am a respected leader and I have never harassed any woman. These allegations are an attempt to defame me and my party.”
However, the police have obtained evidence of Malik’s online activities, which allegedly show him making derogatory comments about the doctor. The police are also investigating the motive behind Malik’s alleged behavior, with some suggesting that it may be related to a dispute over a government project.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for Malik’s resignation as MLA. “No one, regardless of their position or party affiliation, has the right to abuse or harass a woman. Mehraj Malik must resign immediately,” said a senior activist, adding that the incident highlights the need for greater accountability in public life.
The case has also sparked a wider debate about the need for greater awareness and education on issues related to gender and online harassment. “This incident is a stark reminder of the need for greater awareness and education on issues related to gender and online harassment. We need to create a society where women feel safe and respected,” said a local rights activist.
The incident has also raised questions about the effectiveness of the law enforcement agencies in dealing with cases of gender-based violence. “The police must take immediate action to ensure that the accused is brought to justice. The incident highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the way cases of gender-based violence are handled,” said a local resident.
In conclusion, the case of Mehraj Malik, Jammu and Kashmir’s only AAP MLA, booked for threatening and abusing a woman doctor, is a stark reminder of the need for greater accountability and awareness on issues related to gender and online harassment. The incident highlights the need for greater education and awareness about the consequences of gender-based violence and the importance of creating a society where women feel safe and respected.
