Meanwhile, IGP (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar has in a tweet about the controversy after the pre-dawn burial of Geelani said; “Reported allegations against Police are baseless. In fact, Police facilitated in bringing dead-body from house to graveyard as there was apprehension that miscreants might take undue advantage of situation. Relatives participated in last rites”.
