Former chief minister of Indian-administered Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti, has been freed by Indian authorities, more than a year after her detention.
She was detained on August 5 last year, when the Indian government stripped the region of its partial autonomy.
She was put under house arrest under a controversial law that allows detention without charge for up to two years.
Her daughter had filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging her mother’s detention.
Two other former chief ministers, Omar Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah, were also released in March, BBC reported.
