the important points to note in this case are

Important Points:

– The Indian State has booked Waqar under draconian Public Safety Act (PSA) that allows the state to jail anyone for two years without trail. Waqar is not a dreaded criminal but only any other college student who asks for his rights.

– The authorities in Indian-Held Kashmir have shifted Waqar to Kothbhawal Jail, more than 300 km from his home in Srinagar. When a person is detained under preventive law, he cannot be logdged more than 300 kms away from his place of residence, thereby flouting a law pronouced by Supreme Court of India.

– The Indian State has deprived Waqar of his education and is on verge of denting his bright career. It is important to mention that he has managed to get a high score despite being in Jail securing ‘A’ grade in the Final Year exam papers he has appeared in inside Jail.
