Muzaffarabad: An “anti-terrorism” court in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir’s Muzaffarabad rejected the bail petition of poet Ahmed Farhad who went missing for 15 days during the recent anti-government protests in the region.
The development comes a day after the court on Monday reserved its verdict following the hearing arguments from both sides with the poet’s wife Urooj Zainab stating that she would challenge the decision.
“Details of why the bail was rejected were not disclosed,” she said in a press conference.
Farhad, known for his defiant prose, came into the spotlight after he went missing during recent anti-government protest over inflation.
Zainab said her husband was allegedly abducted from his house on May 14.
