‘Masrat Aalam sent to NIA custody for next 10 days’
Srinagar: Chairman of Jammu Kashmir Muslim League (ML), Masarat Alam Bhat has been shifted from Jammu jail to New Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
According to unconfirmed sources, Alam was shifted to Tihar Jail on Monday evening in connection with National Investigation Agencys (NIA) probe in “terror funding case”, a spokesman of the ML said in a statement issued here.
He said that Aalam was shifted from Amphala jail to Tihar jail.
From Tihar jail he was presented before Patiala house court on Monday and sent to custody of NIA for 10 days, the spokesman added.
Alam is behind bars continuously for the last 9 years, during which judicial houses have quashed his detention under 37 PSAs.
The spokesperson said that Alam was slapped with the 38th PSA in a row “and now sending him to NIA custody in connection with fabricated charges is worst kind of state sponsored terrorism”.
The spokesperson has stressed upon Human rights council including Red Cross, Amnesty International, Bar Association Kashmir and all others to “take strong note of this illegal detention” of Masrat Aalam and play their role for his early release. (GNS)
