PDP MLA slaps security official thrice inside J&K Assembly

Srinagar: Scenes of chaos played out in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Wednesday over the molestation charges against former health minister Shabir Khan and other local issues. Opposition PDP legislator Syed Bashir Ahmad slapped an assembly security official at least three times when the latter was trying to evict him out of the legislative house on the Speaker’s direction.
Ahmad was attempting to storm the well of the House but was stopped by the security officer.
The Jammu & Kashmir High Court had granted bail to Shabir Khan in the molestation case on Tuesday. The minister is accused of allegedly molesting a lady doctor.
The court observed that since Khan is complying with police probe, he can be granted bail. Shabir Khan has been accused by a woman doctor of calling her to his office on the pretext of some official work and then molesting her.
