Srinagar:\u00a0<\/strong>Muslim League leader Masrat Alam Bhat who was\u00a0on Saturday<\/span>\u00a0released on bail by Tehsildar Srinagar was rearrested by police half an hour after he was freed from the open court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have taken him under preventive custody,\u201d SSP Srinagar Amit Kumar told KNS. Bhat was detained by police station Shaheed Gunj. After his release, while talking to KNS, the Muslim League leader said that he was freed after four years of detention during which he was lodged in different jails including JIC Srinagar and JIC Jammu. \u201cI have been released by Tehsildar in an open court. I have been booked under PSA five times during the period of four years of detention. I was lodged in different jails like Kathua, Udhampur, Baramulla and Srinagar.<\/p>\n

But half an hour after his released, the police detained him from his home in Old City. A Muslim League, spokesman, Rafiq Ganai, told KNS that police raided Masrat\u2019s residence and re-arrested him. \u201cHe was immediately taken to police station Shaheed Gunj,\u201d Ganai confirmed. Muslim League has denounced the police action against Masrat saying that it is an open violation of judicial procedures.\u00a0 \u201cWe highly condemn this the highhandedness of police,\u201d said a Muslim League leader pleading anonymity.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, terming the release of Bhat and his arrest after just an hour as \u2018worst kind of state terrorism\u2019, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Geelani strongly condemned the police action. He said that Masarat Alam Bhat is being subjected to the political vengeance rather his continuous imprisonment doesn\u2019t have any constitutional, legal or moral justification.<\/p>\n

In a press statement issued to KNS, Geelani cautioned that this \u2018hooliganism\u2019 of the government will have serious results and it will increase the anger of the people. Geelani said that the Omer led government is having negative attitude towards the pro-freedom leaders and the worst kind of cruelties were unlashed upon the pro-freedom leaders and activists in this regime. \u201cMasarat is continuously from last four years in prison and the state High Court have every time termed the allegations which were leveled against him as baseless and have ordered his release but the government always disrespected the court orders. It is the height of fascism which is very difficult to find in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
