Religious Preacher Sarjan Barkati Released

Srinagar, Jun 5 : Religious preacher and cleric Sarjan Barkati has been released Saturday, some twenty days after he was detained by police in Zainapora in Shopian.

Official sources told GNS that Barkati was released from custody this afternoon.

Barkati, as per sources, was detained for leading a protest demonstration in the backdrop of Palestine-Israel imbroglio last month.

Confirming the development, a family member of the preacher replied in affirmative about the elderly having reached his home.
