Files written complaint seeking protection from the DGP

Abdul Rashid Shora, father of Shehla Rashid, ex-JNU student leader and former general secretary Jammu and Kashmir Peoples’ Movement has approached the office of DGP, Jammu and Kashmir Police with a written complaint that he is facing death threats from his own daughter.

Seeking security cover from the DGP, Abdul Rashid in his letter addressed to the DGP has also claimed that Shehla is being supported by his elder daughter Asma Rashid, his wife Zubeida Shora and one of the security guards, Sakib Ahmad.

Abdul Rashid also informed the DGP that soon after Shehla Rashid jumped into politics her threat perception increased.
Abdul Rashid has claimed that just two months before the arrest of Zahoor Watali in Terror Funding Case under UAPA i was called by Zahoor Watali and Rasheed Engineer (Ex-MLA) at Watali’s residence at Sanat Nagar, Srinagar in June 2017 for a sitting. At that time Shehla was in the last semester of her PhD in Sociology, after we met they revealed in front of me the trailer of launch of JKPM party and urged me to extend cooperation to merge Shehla Rashid in to their game plan, at that point of time Shah Faesal was in USA on education leave under the patronage of Feroze Peerzada presently President of JKPM party and Zahoor Watali.

They offered me during the meeting Rs 3 crores for Shehla to join these notorious people.

As i felt that the money is coming from illegal channels and shall be used for unlawful activities i did not take the money and later asked my daughter to not indulge in any such transactions with these people.

Despite my resistance i found my wife Zubeida Shora and elder daughter Asma Rashid to be supportive of Shehla and becoming party to this deal alongwith one more person Sakib Ahmad who is a downtown boy who was introduced to me as her personal security man by Shehla as he used to carry a pistol with him.

After a week when Shehla came to Srinagar from Delhi she confirmed to me that she has got transferred the referred amount at Delhi in cash and there is no need for me to disclose anything regarding this transaction and my meeting with Rasheed Engineer and Zahoor Watali with anybody, as this can put my life in danger.She also told me that she has accepted the money and much more is about to come in future and so i need to shut up my mouth.As a concerned father I strongly objected to my daughters decision for joining these notorious people as i felt the money coming will be used for unlawful activities.

I have a strong belief that there are anti-national activities going on in my house , the characters involved in this plan are my daughters, my wife and Shehla’s security guard namely Sakib Ahmad who lately threatened me with his pistol for my resistance posted to Shehla for her activities. For the continuous resistance that i was posted to Shehla,Sakib and other suspicious persons who frequented my house i was continuously threatened to leave the house.For my strict stand against these activities Shehla and her mother hatched a conspiracy to throw me out of the house by filing a complaint under the provisions of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in the court of 3rd Additional Munsiff,Srinagar wherein the said court restrained me from staying in my home. Despite getting a legal remedy from the court of 2 ND Additional Sessions Judge Srinagar who as per his order allowed me to stay at my residence with some conditions but despite that the local police failed to implement the court order and restore me in my home.Since local police did not accompany me to me residence as per court order i went home myself along with court order, wherein i was threatened for life by Sakib and is armed associates at my residence and fearing threat to my life ii have run away from Srinagar to Jammu.

I therefore, humbly request you to ensure my personal security and kindly direct the concerned police station to extend their support to me in getting back to my house as per court order. He said i also request you to order investigations in to the conduct of Sakib and his associates, bank details of Shehla Rashid,Asma Rashid and Zubeida and Sakib, property acquired by them at New Delhi, their email accounts and their mysterious financial dealing with Feroze Peerzada,Zahoor Watali and Rashid Engineer and notorious activities being done by them in the name of Empowerment of Women and Social justice NGO.
