Official sources told Press Bureau of India that the administration has invoked PSA against Adil Ahmad Misger, 19; son of Sirajudin Misger who has been kept lodged in police station Nowhatta since Thursday.

The PBI has learnt that the administration invoked the PSA against Adil, two weeks earlier and police managed his arrest only on last Thursday.
