SRINAGAR, 08 February 2022, (TON): An Indian court gave a Kashmir freelance journalist two days to appear before it over a police complaint that he had acted against the public interest by sharing information on social media about a militant attack on a policeman.

"I have granted him two days for appearance before the court" Executive Magistrate Fida Mohammad Bhat told Reuters of Geelani.

A summons issued to Geelani and seen by Reuters said that on Feb. 1, following the wounding of the policeman by militants, the journalist disseminated information on social media that would have endangered the life of the injured individual and other persons.”
