It is believed that the Govt. of India is taking these video films in order to malign the Kashmir movement by giving it a colour of terrorism. In this regard the relatives have filed four Writ Petitions before the Hon'ble High Court at Srinagar. The W.P.Nos are 2812/92 to 2815/92 titled Gh. Nabi Siraj, Dr. Gh. Nabi Bhat, Gh.
