Decision following the recent direction of apex court and present situation of COVID-19
Former Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Naeem Akhtar, a close aide of Mehbooba Mufti, was shifted from a Srinagar sub-jail to home detention in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. “Keeping in view the recent direction of the apex court and the present situation of COVID-19 and the health issues stated by the detainee, it has been ordered to shift him from the subsidiary jail, the MLA Hostel, to his residence in Srinagar’s Humhama,” said an order by the Executive Magistrate. However, the magistrate directed the Station House Officer (SHO), Humhama, to ensure the detention of the detainee under Section 107/151 of the Cr.PC at his home.More Related News
