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 a woman doctor. The doctor, who works at a government medical college in Doda, accused Malik of making “abusive, gendered and derogatory remarks” against her online.
According to the police complaint, the woman doctor alleged that Malik had threatened to drag her and strip her naked. This is not the first time Malik has been involved in controversy. In the past, he has been criticized for his behavior and has been accused of being involved in several scandals.
The incident is the latest in a long line of allegations of abuse and harassment against Malik. In 2020, he was accused of assaulting a woman in a public place after she refused to give him a bribe. He was later acquitted of the charges due to lack of evidence.
The latest incident has sparked outrage among citizens and politicians alike. Many have called for Malik to be held accountable for his actions and have demanded that he be removed from his position as MLA.
The police have launched an investigation into the incident and have booked Malik under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The sections include 294 (obscene acts), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman).
The woman doctor, who wishes to remain anonymous, alleged in her complaint that Malik had made the threatening remarks on social media. She said that she had been a victim of his abuse and harassment for some time and had tried to report him to the police several times before.
“I was shocked and traumatized by his behavior. I had tried to report him to the police before, but nothing was done. I was forced to take matters into my own hands and file a complaint,” she said.
The police have taken the complaint seriously and have launched a thorough investigation. They have collected evidence and have spoken to several witnesses, including the woman doctor.
The AAP has distanced itself from the incident and has condemned Malik’s behavior. A party spokesperson said that Malik’s actions were unacceptable and that he would be held accountable for his actions.
“We condemn the behavior of our MLA and demand that he be held accountable for his actions. We will not tolerate any kind of abuse or harassment, and we will take all necessary steps to ensure that justice is served,” the spokesperson said.
The incident has sparked a debate about the lack of accountability among politicians in Jammu and Kashmir. Many citizens have expressed frustration at the lack of action taken against corrupt and abusive politicians.
“This is not the first time we have seen a politician like Malik get away with abuse and harassment. It’s a clear indication of the lack of accountability among politicians in the state,” said a local resident.
The police are working to gather evidence and are expected to file a chargesheet soon. Malik has been given a notice to appear before the court and is expected to be arrested soon.
As the investigation continues, citizens are demanding that Malik be removed from his position as MLA and that he be held accountable for his actions.
