AAP MLA Mehraj Malik Released After 8 Months Under Public Safety Act in Jammu & Kashmir
Aam Aadmi Party MLA Mehraj Malik from Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, was released from Kathua jail after eight months of detention under the Public Safety Act. The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court quashed his detention on Monday. Malik was arrested in September 2025 following his criticism of then Doda District Magistrate Harvinder Singh. Upon release, Malik urged youth to join politics, stating that political space may be shrinking but change is impossible without political engagement.
