Former chief minister of Kashmir and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti is all set to be released from detention, after more than a year.
The PDP president was arrested on the eve of the abrogation of Article 370, which removed Jammu and Kashmir‘s special status and bifurcated it into two Union Territories on 5 August last year.
J&K administrative spokesperson Rohit Kansal announced the release of Mufti.
Mufti’s release comes just as the deadline set by the Supreme Court was about to expire.
