Jammu and Kashmir Police has registered a case against the wife and son of MLA Anantnag Peerzada Mohammad Syed for allegedly locking a government-run hospital, officials said on Wednesday.
An FIR was registered at Achabal police station, in south Kashmir's Anantnag district, on Tuesday against Syed's wife and son after they allegedly locked a health facility in the Damhal Khosipora area of the district, the officials said.
The building housing the health facility reportedly belongs to the MLA's family and was provided for establishing a primary health centre in 2008.
However, the family claims that earlier this year, the MLA had written to the Anantnag chief medical officer seeking relocation of the health centre, claiming the building was in dilapidated condition.
