Srinagar, Mar 14: Srinagar-based journalist and editor Fahad Shah was today booked under the Public Safety Act.
Umair Ronga, Shah’s legal counsel, said Police had “sensed” that the court may grant the bail to the journalist so they booked him under the PSA.
He said that the authorities have taken recourse to the PSA to prolong his detention and prevent him from doing his job.
Shah is founder of The Kashmir Walla, a digital magazine and news portal based in Srinagar. He is in Police custody and was granted bail in two cases but was booked under PSA a day before the hearing of the third case registered against him.
