The official sources have further confirmed that DAK president has been charged under section 107 and 151 RPC. He would be shifted to Central jail as under these sections he cannot be detained at the Police station.
Meanwhile, General Secretary Bar Association of Kashmir Mohammad Ashraf Bhat has condemned the police action and has stated that such actions should not deter DAK to tread on the truthful path.
