SRINAGAR: With J&K Police and Iltija Mufti<\/a> locked up in a battle over allegations of assault and manhandling, chief minister Omar Abdullah<\/a> Friday accused them of playing a \u201cfixed match\u201d in a bid to restore PDP\u2019s credibility.Iltija, who accused police of manhandling her during the Aug 4-5 protest in Kashmir on the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370<\/a>, was Friday called to Kothibagh police station in Srinagar and questioned for nearly two hours over her alleged assault on a cop. Police have alleged that she bit the forearm of an officer during the protest, causing an injury.When asked about PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti\u2019s criticism of the action against her daughter, Omar told reporters: \u201cPlease don\u2019t ask me to comment on this fixed match. Whenever PDP\u2019s political image weakens, agencies step in to help restore its credibility as they are the party\u2019s mai baap. This party didn\u2019t rise on its own, and it was made by agencies (a euphemism widely used by NC to refer to intelligence agencies).\u201dQuestioning the claims and counter-claims, Omar said: \u201cIs Iltija Mufti a five-year-old child that she would bite someone? This entire episode is a fixed match and an unnecessary attempt to distract people from the real issues.\u201dWhile police did not issue any statement on Iltija\u2019s questioning, she said she was willing to cooperate with any investigation. However, she added: \u201cI am neither the first nor the last Kashmiri to be summoned. My fight is not personal. I am here to fight for every Kashmiri.\u201d<\/p>\n
