The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Shafat Ahmed Shangloo, an accused wanted in the December 1989 kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of the then Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the agency said on Monday, adding the accused was absconding for nearly 36 years.

Shangloo is considered a close associate of separatist leader and chief of banned Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Yasin Malik, against whom charges have been framed in the 1989 kidnapping case. Malik is lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail, where he is serving a life sentence in a terror-funding case.

“CBI has arrested an absconder Shafat Ahmed Shangloo, wanted in a 35-year-old CBI case relating to kidnapping of Dr Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed,” an agency spokesperson said in a statement.

Rubaiya Sayeed was kidnapped by Yasin Malik-led JKLF in 1989, and was released after five days. Pq
