CIJ registers FIR against publishers over controversial books
Srinagar, Jul 5: The Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police has registered a First Information Report (FIR) and launched searches after two books found in government school libraries contained material glorifying separatist figures and promoting narratives considered anti-national. The case has been registered at CIK Police Station, Jammu, vide FIR 3/2026 under Section 49, 61 (2), 152, 196, 353 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). We have seized the MoU and other documents during the searches conducted at the premises of one of the publishers in Jammu and another location, senior officials said, adding that, besides physical records, digital evidence was also seized. We are carrying out more searches, and so far no arrests have been made, officials said, adding that in-depth investigations are underway. The books under scrutiny are Personalities and Legends of J&K, authored by Hilal Ahmad and Santosh Meena and published by Jammu-based Oberoi Book Service, and Great Personalities of Jammu and Kashmir, authored by Sushant Giri and published by Delhi-based Anurag Prakashan. According to officials, 123 copies of one title were supplied to schools in Jammu, Ramban and Udhampur districts, while 128 copies of the second title were distributed to schools in Jammu and Baramulla districts. The action follows directions from Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who suspended eight officials of the School Education Department, removed a contractual employee and ordered a departmental inquiry after the books were found to contain what the administration described as highly inappropriate content. The School Education Department has since withdrawn both books from school libraries. The controversy erupted after leaders from both the BJP and the Congress alleged that the publications glorified separatist leaders and promoted narratives sympathetic to Pakistan. Leader of the Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Sharma, described the issue as a grave offence, alleging that one of the books praised Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, and referred to the region as India-occupied Kashmir. Sharma demanded accountability from everyone involved in the selection and distribution of the books, including the authors, publishers, expert committee members and the Education Minister. He also accused the ruling National Conference government of being complicit, alleging that the distribution reflected a deliberate agenda. Responding to the controversy, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he had neither seen nor read the books and did not comment further on their contents.
