The dossier prepared by the police to book journalist and editor of Kashmir Walla Fahad Shah (33) under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) has described him as “a radical since childhood and anti-national, whose story finds no mention of the government’s good governance or positive intervention”.
It was on the basis of this police dossier that Mr. Shah, who was first arrested on February 4 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, was booked on March 4 under the PSA, a law under which a person can be detained without a trial for two years. Mr. Shah had secured a bail in two other cases.
In the detailed dossier, the police accused Mr. Shah of “having a radical ideology right from your childhood”.
