Srinagar, In the Baramulla district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian police have booked a Kashmiri youth under the Public Safety Act (PSA), a legislation often referred to as a ‘black law’.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the individual, identified as Nasir Ahmad, was detained following formal detention orders from the authorities in the Pattan area of the district. Ahmad has been subsequently lodged in Kot Bhalwal jail, located in Jammu.
The Public Safety Act, under which Ahmad has been booked, is a controversial law that allows for the detention of individuals without trial for extended periods. The act has been a subject of debate and criticism, particularly in the context of its application in the region of Jammu and Kashmir.
This incident adds to the ongoing tensions and human rights concerns in the region, where the application of the PSA has been a point of contention between various groups and the authorities.
