A special court has released Shafat Ahmed Shangloo, an alleged associate of Yasin Malik, after the CBI arrested him in connection with the 1989 kidnapping of Rubaiyya Sayeed. The court rejected the CBI's custody request, noting his name was absent from the charge sheet in the 35-year-old case involving the daughter of former Home Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.
