Srinagar: Five people have been booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA) in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district for their alleged involvement in anti-national activities, police on Monday said.
“Acting tough against the anti-national elements, police in Baramulla booked five persons under the Public Safety Act after obtaining formal detention orders from the competent authority,” a police spokesman said.
The five accused have been identified as Asif Ali Bhat, son of Ali Mohammad, resident of Badipora Tangmarg; Mohammad Yaqoob Bhat, son of Ghulam Mohammad, resident of Tantraypora Palhallan; Waseem Mehraj Farash alias Waseem Farash, son of Mehraj-ud-din, resident of Khanpora; Bashir Ahmad Sualiah, son of Late Ghulam Mohammad, resident of Mohalla Jadeed Baramulla; and Bilal Ahmad Dar alias Shakir, son of Ghulam Nabi, resident of Wussan Khoie Pattan.
The spokesman said that the accused persons have been detained and subsequently lodged in District Jail Udhampur and Central Jail Kot Bhalwal Jammu.
“It is pertinent to mention here that many cases are registered against these persons who were involved in disturbance of law and order and subversion. They did not mend their anti-national and anti-social activities despite their involvement in many FIRs,” he added.
