Mehbooba Mufti has not been detained: JK election commissioner

JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir state election commissioner K K Sharma on Friday said PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has not been detained and that police had advised her not to undertake the journey to Pulwama in view of “security risk”.

He was responding to Mufti’s claim that she has been placed under house arrest by the authorities.

The former chief minister said she was not allowed to visit the Pulwama residence of party leader Waheed Parra who was arrested by the NIA earlier this week. She said her daughter was also put under house arrest. (AGENCIES)
