On the occasion, spokesman said Rasheed asked army authorities not to humiliate locals in the name of checking their identity cards.

Er. Rasheed asked army officers to focus on finding the missing youth Manzoor Ahmad Khan rather trying to divert the issue and suppress the voice of masses.

Later Er. Rasheed was deported back to Handwara by the police.
