 Asiya Andrabi was arrested on August 28 last during a raid at Habak Zakura in the outskirts of the city.
 Aasiya had gone underground to evade arrest since Hurriyat Conference (G) launched ‘Quit Kashmir Campaign’ since her detention. She was lodged in Woman’s jail in Rambagh here for past three days.
 Official sources said that Andrabi was booked for “inciting people against the state and police.”  
 The orders of PSA have been issued by Deputy Commissioner Srinagar, Meraj Ahmad Kakroo, the sources added.  Despite repeated attempts, the commissioner could not be contacted for the comment.
