Kashmir Crisis India detains Kashmir politician at airport
According to reports, a well known bureaucratic politician from Indian-administered Kashmir was arrested in Delhi and sent back to the area, the report said.
Prior to India's controversial decision to withdraw the special status of the region, Shah Faisal was one of the few Kashmiri politicians who was not detained.
He was arrested at Delhi airport on Wednesday morning.
Speaking at the BBC's Hardtalk program on Tuesday, Mr Faisal said he was apprehensive about being detained.
"I'm holding my own: I'm free so time should not lead to Kashmir in 2 prisons," hey shed.
Mr Fasal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had "killed the Constitution in broad daylight" by withdrawing the special status of the states of Jammu and Kashmir.
However, the Government of India has stated that they have complied with the Constitution and all protocols have been followed.
PTI News Agency quoted officials as saying they were trying to board a flight to Turkey and were arrested at Delhi International Airport.
It is unclear where he was taken to India-ruled Kashmir, but some local media have reported that he has been detained. The BBC has not been able to independently verify this.
Mr Faisal became the first Kashmiri to be named head of state after being topped India's infamous civil service exam in the 21st.
He resigned his official post in January to launch his own political party - the Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement.
The government on August 7 is known as the Statute of the Guaranteed Constitution of Special Status - since hundreds of people have already been detained in the region after the government repealed Article 370.
These include politicians, activists, academics and business leaders.
Mobile, landline and Internet networks have been disconnected, and restrictions have been in place for more than a week for people to gather in crowds as a result of curfew restrictions. However, officials said on Wednesday that the restrictions were now eased in the Hindu-majority Jammu region.
Despite the lockdown, protests against the cancellation of one-to-four paragraphs have been staged in Srinagar, the Muslim-majority valley. Thousands of people came out at the end of the afternoon prayer to protest the move.
The Indian government has said that eliminating special status will give Kashmiris greater economic opportunities and opportunities for development. It also defended the move by saying that Article 8 promoted terrorism and isolationism in India-ruled Kashmir, which has been the site of rebellion for three decades.
