Sanjay Singh Detained Illegally; 'Message It Sends Out Not Good': Omar Abdullah

Srinagar, Sept 11: Omar Abdullah has criticised the authorities for what he describes as the “illegal” detention of Sanjay Singh. He said the action sets a troubling precedent and sends out a message that undermines trust in the rule of law.

What Singh’s Detention Involves

The exact circumstances of Sanjay Singh’s detention remain unclear. Omar Abdullah said Singh was held without proper charges and without due process being visibly followed — which raises serious concerns among opposition leaders and human rights groups.

Political Response

Opposition figures have expressed alarm, arguing that such detentions erode democratic norms. Omar Abdullah particularly emphasised transparency and legal accountability, calling for authorities to clarify the grounds on which Singh was detained.

Legal & Public Implications

Legal analysts say that detaining someone without visible legal proceedings can incite public distress and reduce faith in institutions. They warn that actions taken outside due process may lead to further unrest and calls for judicial review.
