Hardcore Criminal Detained Under PSA in Jammu

Jammu, Sept 8: In a significant crackdown, a suspected hardcore criminal was detained under the stringent **Public Safety Act (PSA)** by police in Jammu today, according to official sources.

PSA: A Tool for Preventive Detention

The **Public Safety Act, 1978** allows administrative authorities to detain individuals considered threats to public order or state security, without trial. Detentions under the PSA can range from 3 to 12 months and are exempt from judicial intervention in the initial stages.

Why PSA Was Invoked

Authorities cited repeated criminal activities by the accused, which allegedly posed a serious threat to local peace and public safety. The PSA was invoked after a formal order was issued by the District Magistrate, pending further investigation and possible legal proceedings.
