“Jammu and Kashmir police have registered a case against the wife and son of Anantnag MLA Peerzada Mohammad Syed for allegedly locking a government-run hospital,” officials said on Wednesday (6 May 2026).
“A First Information Report (FIR) was registered at Achabal police station in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) against Mr. Syed’s wife and son after they allegedly locked a health facility in Damhal Khosipora area of the district,” officials said.
The building housing the health facility is said to belong to the MLA family and was given for setting up a primary health center in 2008.
However, the family claims that earlier this year, the MLA had written to the Chief Medical Officer of Anantnag to relocate the health centre, saying the building was in a dilapidated condition.
