In the shared video, Abdullah claims he was “physically grappled” by police personnel while visiting the revered site. He insists he was not engaging in any illegal activity.

Abdullah further explains that he hadn’t informed authorities of his visit to the Martyrs’ Graveyard, citing his recent house arrest on Kashmir Martyrs’ Day as the reason. This raises questions about the legality and justification for the alleged police intervention.
