"As you are aware my mother Ms Mehbooba Mufti, formerCM J&K has been jailed since 5 August. A doctor recently ran multiple testson her as she was not keeping well. As per those tests, her Vitamin D,hemoglobin and Calcium levels are low," Iltija Mufti wrote.
She said Mehbooba Mufti should be shifted to anotherlocation more suitable for the harsh winter.
