Declaring suspects terrorists based on 'sutli bombs' premature: Mehbooba Mufti
New Delhi, Dec 28 (IBNS): Former Jammu and Kashmir chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Friday said "declaring suspects as terrorists on the basis of Sutli bombs, associating with the dreaded IS" was "premature".
On December 26, the National National Investigation Agency busted a suspected ISIS-inspired terror outfit and arrested 10 people, who it said were planning attacks in and around the national capital.
"National security is supreme. But declaring suspects as terrorists on the basis of Sutli bombs, associating with the dreaded IS is premature," she tweeted. "It has already devastated their lives and families. NIA must learn from earlier episodes in which the accused were acquitted after decades."

"Arrests by NIA in the election season do raise suspicion, especially after the urban Naxal case seems to be falling apart," the former chief minster said.
