Masrat re-arrested ‘thrice’ in week after granted bail Date: 28 Sep 2013 Masrat re-arrested ‘thrice’ in week after granted bail Now shifted to JIC Humhama Srinagar: A local court on Saturday granted interim bail to incarcerated Muslim League Jammu Kashmir Chairman Masrat Alam Bhat but according to League, Alam was re-arrested and taken to Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) Humhama. A local court in Bandipora granted interim bail to Masrat Alam in a case FIR No. 220-13ULA/2009 (Unlawful Activities Act) by ordering the concerning authorities to release him till October 7. “We went to Sub District jail Baramulla with court orders for Alam’s release but they instead of following court orders shifted him to Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) Humhama,” Muslim League General Secretary Abdul Ahad Parra told GNS, adding that court granted him bail on the facts that he (Masrat) was in sub jail Rajouri on 23-10-2009 when this FIR was registered against him. Terming the re-arrest of Masrat worst kind of human rights violation, Parra said there is no doubt now that Jammu and Kashmir is run by Army and has turned out to be a Police State. “The recent confession of former Army General V.K.Singh has strengthened our claim that there never was democracy in the state and that all the affairs here are run by Army and agencies,” Parra added. He also said that police wants Masrat to languish behind bars for the rest of his life. “As they know Masrat has played a crucial role in people’s uprising during 2008 and 2010 which stirred the entire Indian as well as State puppet administration, they are now resorting to political vengeance by repeatedly re-arresting him,” League General Secretary added.
