Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha has denied the claims made by People's Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti that she has been put on house arrest ahead of the Supreme Court's verdict on abrogation of Article 370 on Monday. LG Manoj Sinha refuted the cliams made by the PDP in a tweet on their official social media account that their leader has been put on house arrest.

'No one has been put under house arrest or arrested'

LG Manoj Sinha said, "This is totally baseless. No one has been put under house arrest or arrested due to political reasons in Jammu & Kashmir. It is an attempt to spread rumours."
