"Mir Mohd Choudhary, a resident of village Gohlad, has been identified as a habitual trouble creator posing a significant threat to the peaceful existence of society. He has demonstrated a pattern of behaviour characterised by the adoption of various tactics to spread terror and fear within the community," police said in a statement. "To prevent further criminal activities detrimental to public order, the district police, Poonch, acting upon a detention order obtained from the District Magistrate, Poonch, has taken the necessary steps to detain Choudhary under the PSA," police said.
