Police in Indian-controlled Kashmir have opened a case against family members of late resistance leader Syed Ali Geelani under a harsh anti-terror law, for allegedly raising anti-India slogans and wrapping his body in the Pakistani flag, officials said Sunday.

Mr Geelani, who died on Wednesday at the age of 91, was the emblem of Kashmir’s defiance against New Delhi and had been under house arrest for years.
