Reports of House Arrest or Arrest of Anyone Ahead of SC Verdict on Article 370 Completely Baseless, Says LG Sinha

GG News Bureau
Jammu, 11th Dec. Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday dismissed reports of house arrest or arrest of anyone prior to the Supreme Court’s decision on Article 370.

He stated that these claims are completely baseless.

Sinha made this statement in response to the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) claim that their president, Mehbooba Mufti, was put under house arrest before the Supreme Court ruling.

“This is totally baseless. In the entire Jammu and Kashmir, no one has been put under house arrest or arrest. This is an attempt to spread rumour,” the LG told reporters here.

Sinha said he is saying it with full responsibility that no one was put under house arrest or arrest for political reasons anywhere in Jammu and Kashmir.

“Even before the Supreme Court judgement is pronounced, police has sealed the doors of the residence of PDP president @MehboobaMufti and put her under illegal house arrest,” the party said in a post on X.
