Parra was linked to ex-Deputy Superintendent Davidinder Singh’s case for supporting Hizbul Mujahideen’s activities, and was arrested on Wednesday after being interrogated for two days in Jammu and Kashmir.
An NIA official related to this case told IANS, “We have arrested Parra for supporting Hizbul Mujahideen activities in conspiracy with arrested terrorist Naveed Babu and another key accused Irfan Safi Mir.”
Recently, Parra filed his nomination for the upcoming District Development Council elections from South Kashmir in J&K. He is known to be the first politician arrested in this case, after being arrested in 2019 as well.
Parra’s arrest had seen great opposition from Mufti, who called the events ‘blackmail’ and said that these were false charges.
