Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Chairman Ashraf Sehrai arrested, booked under PSA

Posted on

Srinagar: Authorities here have booked Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Chairman Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai under Public Safety Act.

The elderly leader was arrested from his residence at Baghaat Barzulla at 5:30 a.m., an unnamed top police officer said.

Sehrai’s son, Junaid Sehrai, was a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militant commander and was killed earlier this year. Mr. Ashraf Sehrai is the chairman of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, a constituent of main Hurriyat Conference which was until recently headed by Syed Ali Geelani.

The arrest comes less than two weeks after the bombshell resignation of the 90-year-old Geelani as “chairperson for life” of the Hurriyat Conference.
