In a post on ‘X’, Ronga’s son Umair Ronga, also an advocate at the Srinagar High Court, wrote “My father, advocate N A Ronga, has just been arrested in a deeply disturbing turn of events. At 1.10 am, a contingent of J&K Police arrived at our home without any arrest warrant, merely stating, ‘It’s an order from above (uper se order hai)’. We are left in a state of shock and profound distress. We can only hope this is not another instance of the PSA being misused to intimidate the members of the Bar Association.”
The Indian Express quoted Umair stating that this morning, during a medical check-up, the police informed him that he had been booked under the PSA. “We were informed that he will be lodged in a jail in Jammu,” he said.
