AAP MLA Mehraj Malik Seeks Restoration of Security Cover in J&K High Court
AAP legislator Mehraj Malik has petitioned the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court to restore his security cover and escort vehicle, withdrawn after he was detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA) for nearly eight months. Malik, released after the PSA was quashed in April, cited security concerns due to his political activities in sensitive areas. His legal team argued he has been singled out compared to other MLAs, with authorities yet to respond to his requests. The court has directed a security review within six weeks.
