A National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Srinagar has issued a proclamation notice against Mubeen Shah, former President of the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industries (KCCI), along with two others in a 2020 Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case. They have been directed to appear before the court on January 31, 2026. The court warned of stringent action, including property attachment, if they fail to comply.
The case involves accusations under Sections 153-A and 505 of the IPC, as well as Section 13 of the UAPA. It was initiated based on intelligence inputs uncovering a conspiracy by certain elements posing as news entities and using social media to spread fake and provocative content. The objective was to incite violence and promote anti-national sentiments.
The accused individuals, currently residing in the US and Germany, are accused of using social media platforms to fuel unrest and disrupt public order in Jammu and Kashmir. Despite being declared absconders, they continue to engage in activities aimed at destabilizing the region. The court has issued warrants for their arrest and a proclamation for their appearance by January 31, 2026, failing which strict legal action will be taken.
