Three youth from south Kashmir’s Pulwama district have been booked under Public Safety Act (PSA) and shifted to a jail in Jammu, officials said on Saturday.
An official said the deputy commissioner Pulwama acting on a police dossier issued the detention order under PSA for three youth.
He said Amir Shafi Bhat (20) son of Mohammad Shafi Bhat of Karimabad, Mohammad Shafi Mir (22) son of Mohammad Ramzan Mir of Kharpora Sirnoo and Suhail Ahmad Wagay (23) son of Ghulam Mohammad Wagay of Sirnoo were booked under the stringent Act.
The official said that all the three youth were detained and booked under PSA for their “anti-national activities”.
“All three were involved in stone pelting incidents and were also working as over ground workers for the militants,” he said.
However, their families alleged that the police booked them on flimsy grounds. They also appealed to the governor administration for their immediate release.
