Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah will be released after over seven months in custody under the Public Safety Act or PSA, a stringent law that allows detention without trial, EDNews reports citing NDTV
Farooq Abdullah, 83, was placed under detention along with several leaders including his son Omar Abdullah and PDP's Mehbooba Mufti on August 5, when the government ended special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 and imposed massive security restrictions and a communication lockdown.
"My father is a free man again," tweeted his daughter Safia Abdullah Khan.
