Jammu- An overground worker of militant outfits has been detained under the stringent Public Safety Act in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, police said on Tuesday.
Mohammad Shabir, a resident of Draj village in Kotranka tehsil, is the second overground worker to be detained under the Public Safety Act in the border district within a week.
On July 26, Akbar Hussain of Marutha-Kanthol village was detained under the administrative law that allows detention without charge or trial for up to two years in some cases.
“Shabir is a notorious overground worker and has been detained under the Public Safety Act for his involvement in unlawful activities,” a police spokesperson said.
He said Shabir’s detention order was issued by the Rajouri district magistrate and executed by a police team on Monday.
The spokesperson said many overground workers in the district have already been detained under preventive sections of the law to check their unlawful activities.
