AAP MLA's Detention: Tensions Run High in Doda After Violent Protests; Security Tightened
The Daily Guardian
|September 11, 2025
Tensions ran high in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district following violent clashes between protesters and security personnel sparked by the detention of AAP MLA Mehraj Malik under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA), a move that has been widely criticised by political leaders as a "direct conflict" between bureaucracy and democracy.
Protests, which started on Tuesday, continued across the district, with reports of police using lathicharge and tear gas to disperse crowds. Prohibitory orders have been imposed and additional security forces deployed in sensitive areas, officials said.
The clashes spread to the neighbouring town of Bhaderwah and resulted in injuries to both protesters and police personnel including two officers.
People from various areas attempted to defy the prohibitory orders and police had to resort to cane charging at some places.
