His son, Naseem, said police buried Geelani’s body in a local cemetery without any family members present after it snatched his body from the home. Police in Indian-occupied Kashmir on Saturday brought up terrorism charges against family members of a recently deceased top pro-freedom leader and others for chanting slogans and “resorting to other anti-national activities” in his dying moments. Geelani’s son, Naseem Geelani, had told several media outlets that police had taken custody of his father’s body, beat family members and buried it in a nearby graveyard. Family members were only allowed to offer prayers the next morning, he said. A video that went viral on social media showed family members, including shrieking and crying women, arguing with the police after the body was taken away.
