In the complaint written by her father, Abdul Rashid Shora, to the DGP, Dilbagh Singh, he stated that he is facing death threats from her and demanded an investigation into her alleged “notorious activities”.

“I…request your good self to order investigations into the conduct of Sakib and his associates, bank details of Shehla Rashid, Asma Rashid, Zubaida and Sakib, property acquired by them at New Delhi, their e-mail accounts and their mysterious financial dealings with Feroz Peerzada, Zahoor Watali and Rashid Engineer and notorious activities being done by them in the name of Empowerment of Women and Social Justice NGO,” the complaint reads.

Shehla Rashid denied these allegations

After several media platforms started broadcasting the news Shehla Rashid too responded on social media. Posting a series of tweets Shehla Rashid alleged that her father is a wife beater and they acted against him and the police complaint is a reaction to that.

Shehla claims father, facing charges of domestic violence, leveling baseless allegations.

”Many of you must have come across a video of my biological father making wild allegations against me and my mum & sis. To keep it short and straight, he’s a wife-beater and an abusive, depraved man. We finally decided to act against him, and this stunt is a reaction to that”, she said.

In his letter, Abdul Rashid too had stated that “the Court of 3rd Additional Munsif, Srinagar… restrained me from staying in my home. Despite getting a legal remedy from the Court of 2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Srinagar who as per his order allowed me to stay at my residence with some conditions but despite that local police failed to implement the court order and restore me in my home.”

Since local police did not accompany him to his residence as per the court order, he said, “I went home myself along with court order, wherein I was threatened for life by Sakib and his armed associates at my residence and fearing threat to my life I have run away from Srinagar to Jammu.”

He further states: “…I am under a constant threat to my life by my daughter Shehla Rashid Shora who is supported by the elder daughter Asma Rashid and my wife namely Zubaida Shora as well as her security guard namely Sakib Ahmad.”
