Srinagar, Sept 23: The 14 year old boy of Rainawari here who was arrested and later booked under Public Safety Act in June this year was released on September 20 on the directions of the High Court.
 Nayeem Ahmad Dar son of Bashir Ahmad was arrested on June 7 and detained at Rainawari Police Station. After two days, his family was informed that he has been booked under the PSA on charges of stone pelting. He was shifted to Poonch jail.
 Nayeem was previously detained on May 24, 2008 for his alleged involvement in stone pelting. That time he was released on bail.
 Nayeem’s mother, Shameema Begum challenged his PSA and detention. The HC quashed his PSA on September 15.
 Nayeem’s father, Bashir Ahmad, told Greater Kashmir that they had to spend Rs one lakh for his release. “We had to spend Rs. 5000 on every visit to meet Nayeem in the jail. We met several politicians for his release but no one came to our rescue.”
 Recounting his ordeal, Nayeem said, “I was called by SHO police station, Rainawari and later detained. I was kept in the Police Station for nearly a week and then my parents were told to get my clothes as PSA was slapped on me. I was shifted to Poonch jail.”
 “In jail, they used to keep me in a hall with 34 other inmates. I was kept in lock up for 12 hours and then in jail courtyard for the rest of the time. I’m delighted to be back home with my family,” he said.
