The former CM, who had been kept under house arrest at his Srinagar residence since the revocation of Article 370 in IoK on August 5 can now be held detained for a period of up to two years without a trial.

According to Indian media, the decision to impose the Public Safety Act on the former  CM came on Sunday night.

Farooq Abdullah is currently detained at his residence - now declared as subsidiary jail - by the Indian government and he will continue to stay inside his house only. His son Omar Abdullah is under house arrest too.
