Srinagar, Sept 1: High Court today upheld a detention order of a man for allegedly lynching a police officer and quashed two with the direction to the authorities to release them.
The court upheld the PSA of one Bilal Ahmad Lone. Lone was detained by District Magistrate Srinagar on 11. 10. 2024 in order to prevent him from indulging in the activities which are prejudicial to the security of the State.
The grounds of detention reveal that Lone was actively involved in the gruesome lynching of a Dy. SP rank officer who was deployed to ensure peaceful culmination of huge gathering of devotees at Jamia Masjid on the eve of Shab-i-Qadr on the intervening night of 22-23/06/2017.
After hearing Court ordered that the petition lacks merit and is dismissed accordingly.
