SRINAGAR, May 5: Police in Anantnag registered an FIR against the wife and son of Congress MLA Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed in connection with the locking of a Government-run health facility in Damhal Khoshipora in Anantnag district.
It said that a case (FIR No. 32/2026) has been registered at Achabal Police Station on the directions of a First Class Magistrate Kokernag.
The case has been filed under relevant provisions of law, including charges of allegedly obstructing Government officials in the discharge of their duties and intimidation.
It said that repeated attempts by the Health Department to persuade the family to reopen the hospital did not yield results, forcing the administration to step in.
Acting on complaints, the Tehsildar Kokernag, accompanied by a Magistrate, visited the spot and ordered the lock to be broken to restore services. However, the building was allegedly locked again shortly after, further aggravating the situation.
More reports awaited.
