“Ms Mufti’s car met with a terrible accident enroute Anantnag today. Thanks to the grace of god, she & her security officers escaped unhurt without any serious injuries,” tweeted Iltija Mufti, daughter of Mehbooba soon after the accident.

“ Despite facing a terrible accident @MehboobaMufti continued her journey to Anantnag to meet fire victims. Yet another sign of a brave leader,” PDP leader from south Kashmir Yawar Banday said. National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah, while expressing relief that Mehbooba is safe, called for a probe to ascertain the cause of the accident. “Glad to hear that @MehboobaMufti Sahiba escaped injury in what could have been a very serious incident. I expect the government to enquire into the circumstances of the accident. Any gaps in her security that contributed to this accident must be addressed immediately,” Omar posted on X.
