Police had lodged an FIR against the blog when senior journalist, Syed Shujaat Bukhari was killed on June 14, 2018.
In July this year, police arrested five persons identified as Nazish Yasrab Rehmani and Akbar Rehmani from Sanatnagar, Sofi Akbar from Rajbagh in Srinagar, Peerzada Raqif Makhdoomi from Batpora Hazratbal, and Javed Khalid from Poonch for allegedly running the blog site which allegedly ran smear campaigns and prepared a hit list of prominent persons in Kashmir.
On September 11, a special NIA court in Srinagar granted bail to Yasrab Rehmani and Khalid.
