Adv Mian Muzaffar booked under PSA, shifted to Kathua Jail
Jammu and Kashmir police have arrested Adv Mian Muzaffar, the nephew of Advocate Mian Qayoom, under the Public Safety Act (PSA), family members said.
They informed that authorities arrested Muzaffar from his residence at approximately 1:00 AM.
The family said, “Authorities informed them that he has been booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA) and subsequently shifted him to Kathua jail.”
The circumstances surrounding his detention remain unclear, and family members are seeking more information about the charges leading to his arrest. Earlier, former BAR president Mian Qayoom was arrested in the murder case of Advocate Babar Qadri.
The ad hoc chairman of the J&K High Court Bar Association (JKHCBA), Kashmir, Nazir Ahmad Ronga, was also arrested by the Lieutenant Governor’s administration in Srinagar just hours after the Bar issued a notification related to the internal election.
Meanwhile, in a notification, a Bar spokesman said, “On turn of events the JKHCBA has decided to suspend notification (issued on July 10).” The police have not commented on the arrests of Two lawyers, Advocate Nazir Ahmad Ronga and Advocate Mian Muzaffar, or accusations of being booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
