Aasiya Andrabi, of Dukhtaran-E-Milat has been lodged in the NIA lock-up

According to investigators, Kashmiri separatist Aasiya Andrabi, who was brought to the Delhi headquarters of the National Investigation Agency, has been undergoing questioning. The 56-year-old chief of the banned Dukhtaran-E-Milat (daughters of the nation) has been lodged in the NIA lock-up. She is been questioned every few hours on her association with Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed and why she always takes such hardline position against India.

In 2016, Aasiya Andrabi was accused of being a key motivator of the students’ protests in Kashmir valley following the death of Burhan Wani. After the agency got her custody for 10 days on Friday, she was brought to Delhi from a Srinagar jail.

Last year, in October she ended up on a government poster featuring 12 women achievers, alongside then Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The red-faced government took action against the official involved and declared that it “totally disassociated” itself from the poster.
