Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Mehbooba Mufti claimed that she had been put under house arrest on Saturday, 5 August, which marks the fourth anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370.
“I’ve been put under house arrest along with other senior PDP leaders today. This comes after a midnight crackdown where scores of my party men are illegally detained in police stations. GOIs false claims about normalcy to the SC stands exposed by theirs actions driven by paranoia,” she took to X (formerly Twitter) to say, and uploaded pictures of locked gates purportedly of her house.
