Two days after the Public Safety Act (PSA) was slapped on former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, a senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Naeem Akhtar was booked under the PSA.
With this, Naeem Akhtar became the sixth leader from Jammu and Kashmir to be slapped with the PSA, a law that allows detention ranging from three months to 24 months without a trial.
Akhtar will be lodged at M-5 hut, located on Gupkar Road of the J&K capital.
