The Jammu and Kashmir administration will release three politicians detained since August 5 after the Centre revoked the special status granted to the State under the Constitution, officials said on Wednesday night. Yawar Mir, Noor Mohammed and Shoaib Lone will be released on various grounds which includes signing of a bond, they said, explaining the reasons for ending of their detention.
While Mr. Mir is a former MLA of the PDP from Rafiabad assembly seat, Mr. Lone contested unsuccessfully on a Congress ticket from North Kashmir and later resigned from the party. He was considered close to People’s Conference chief Sajjad Lone. Mr. Mohammed is a National Conference worker who has been managing the party’s show in the militancy-infested Batmaloo area of the Srinagar city.
