Kashmir’s religious preachers were being booked for instigating youth, the Jammu & Kashmir Police said on Sunday.
At least eight religious preachers, including three prominent Islamic scholars, have been arrested in the Kashmir Valley in the past three days.
“They [the preachers] had been warned but they didn’t budge. They were booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA) for instigating youth despite being warned several times,” Additional Director General of Police Vijay Kumar said.
