Jammu: The MLA from Doda, Mehraj Malik, has been booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA) by the district administration of Doda.
Official sources confirmed that Mehraj Malik has been booked under the PSA, and he has been arrested by the police and taken to an undisclosed location.
The MLA has been booked after 18 First Information Reports (FIRs) and 10 daily diaries were reported against him.
This is for the first time in Jammu and Kashmir that a sitting MLA has been slapped with the PSA. “The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Speaker, Chief Minister and others have been informed about the slapping of PSA on Malik,” said a source.
He said that a dossier was prepared by the Jammu and Kashmir police against Malik on his derogatory language against doctors, officials, providing youth and especially bringing hurdles at a time when relief distribution was being done in the district of Doda.
The PSA was slapped on Monday, and before that, MLA was detained at Duck Bungalow Doda, where nobody was being allowed to meet him. Sources further said that to ensure a law and order situation, more people will be slapped with a PSA.(Agencies)
