He added that a group of police officers in plainclothes had been stationed outside their home in Malviya Nagar.

The notice has been served five days before the Delhi Police were to file a status report, following its investigation into the Hurriyat leader's alleged hate speech, along with the one delivered by noted author Arundhati Roy at a seminar in the Capital on October 21.

"He has been requested to meet officers of the Special Cell, which is investigating the matter," said a senior police officer.
