Govt revokes PSA detention of Omar Abdullah

 Government on Tuesday revoked detention order under PSA against former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, paving a way for his release from over seven months detention.

“Govt issues orders revoking detention of Shri Omar Abdullah,” government spokesman Rohit Kansal tweeted.

The order of revocation comes less than a week after Supreme Court asked the government of India to inform if it is planning to release Omar from detention.

On February 10, Omar’s sister moved the top Court challenging his detention under the Public Safety Act (PSA).
