Mubeen Shah who was the former head of Kashmir Chambers of Commerce was released on Saturday after the Union Territory’s administration “temporarily released” him for three months, officials said.
Shah was detained under the stringent Public Safety Act in the aftermath of the August 5 developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Malaysian based non-resident India, Shah, was released after the Home Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir handed an order to the jail authorities. The order said that it is a temporary release for three months and he should surrender on March 7, 2020.
When the Center withdrew special status to the former state and also bisected into two union territories, Shah was one among the politicians, social activists and businessmen detained on August 5.
