Kashmir journalist Fahad Shah booked under PSA a day before bail hearing
Srinagar, Mar 14: Journalist Fahad Shah, who was arrested by police last month, has been booked under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA), his lawyer said here on Monday.
Shah has been booked under the PSA, a day before his bail application was scheduled to come up for hearing, the journalist's lawyer, Umair Ronga said here.
Ronga said the authorities had sensed that Shah will get bail on Tuesday, so they booked him under the PSA to prolong his detention.
I am in consultation with his family and we will knock on the doors of the High Court as well as the Supreme Court to get justice, the lawyer said.
Police has said Shah is wanted in three cases in Srinagar, Shopian and Pulwama for glorifying terrorism, spreading fake news, and inciting general public in Jammu and Kashmir for creating law and order situations.
Ronga said his client was granted bail in one case on March 5, but was arrested within hours in connection with another case.

Accept Congress decision appointing V D Satheesan as Kerala CM: K C Venugopal
Thiruvananthapuram/New Delhi (PTI): Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal on Thursday accepted the party decision to select V D Satheesan as the chief minister of Kerala and congratulated him.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Venugopal, who was one of the three persons being considered for the post, said he will provide all support to the CM and the UDF government in Kerala.
The decision comes more than 10 days after the results of the April Assembly polls in Kerala were declared.
The Congress-led UDF secured a more than two-thirds majority in the Kerala Assembly elections, but the party has been unable to decide its chief ministerial face due to lobbying by different camps and protests by workers at the ground level.
Besides, Satheesan and Venugopal, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala was also in the race for the CM post.
