Jammu: People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader Waheed-ur-Rehman Para was produced before a court in Jammu on Monday which remanded him to police custody till January 18.
Para, who was granted bail by an NIA court on Saturday, was arrested again by the Special branch of Jammu and Kashmir Police over a case related to an alleged nexus involving politicians, militants and secessionist forces, officials said. The case was registered by the Criminal Investigation (Kashmir) range.
Para, the president of the party's youth wing, was first summoned to New Delhi by the NIA soon after he had filed the nomination for the District Development Council (DDC) from south Kashmir's Pulwama.
He was later arrested by the NIA on November 25 in a case related to his alleged links with Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists.
Para, who won the DDC polls from his hometown in Pulwama district of south Kashmir, was granted relief on a surety bond of Rs 1 lakh and a personal bond of the like amount on Saturday.
However, he was whisked away by sleuths of a security agency as he came out of the Jammu district jail upon being released.
PDP president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti had expressed concern over his detention and sought the intervention of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha for securing his release.
"After getting bail from NIA Court due to lack of evidence, @parawahid has now been booked under UAPA by CIK on fabricated charges in a terror case yet again. This is purely political vendetta against PDP for raising our voice against Delhi’s onslaught", tweeted Mufti.
