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 is employed at a government medical college in Doda, has accused Malik of making “abusive, gendered and derogatory remarks” against her online.
According to the doctor’s complaint, Malik threatened to drag her and strip her naked. The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the state, with many calling for Malik’s immediate suspension and arrest.
The doctor’s allegations were made in a police complaint filed at the Doda police station, where she alleged that Malik had made the threatening remarks against her on social media. She claimed that Malik had used indecent language and made personal attacks on her, leaving her feeling harassed and intimidated.
The police have taken the doctor’s complaint seriously and have registered a case against Malik under sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 500 (defamation) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
The police have also recovered evidence of Malik’s online activities, which they claim show that the MLA had indeed made the threatening remarks against the doctor. The police are now investigating the matter further and are likely to question Malik soon.
Malik’s actions have been widely condemned by his political opponents and civil society groups, who have called for his immediate suspension and arrest. Many have questioned how an MLA, who is supposed to uphold the law and protect the rights of citizens, can engage in such behavior.
The incident has also raised questions about the AAP’s stance on women’s rights and safety. The party has been accused of being soft on crimes against women, and this latest incident has only added to those concerns.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have announced that they will leave no stone unturned in investigating the matter and bringing Malik to justice. The police have also assured the doctor of their full support and cooperation in the matter.
The incident is a stark reminder of the need for political leaders to uphold the law and respect the rights of citizens, particularly women. It is also a reminder of the need for greater vigilance and accountability in our political system.
As news of the incident spreads, it is likely to have far-reaching consequences for Malik and the AAP. The party’s reputation has already taken a hit, and it is unclear how Malik will be able to recover from this scandal.
In the meantime, the doctor who was threatened by Malik is seeking justice and an end to the harassment. She has called on the police and the government to take swift action against the MLA and ensure that he is held accountable for his actions.
As the investigation continues, it is clear that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will be watching closely to see how the case is handled. They will be demanding justice for the doctor and accountability from Malik and the AAP.
