Separatist leader and Hurriyat Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq is among five detained Kashmiri leaders who have furnished a bond to the authorities for their release.
Apart from him, former legislators of the National Conference, one former legislator of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a People’s Conference leader were among the ones who were released.
Top intelligence sources told IANS in Srinagar, "This has happened around a fortnight back. Separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq is among many other detained politicians who have furnished bonds to seek their release."
Apart from the bond, these politicians have given undertakings that once released from preventive detention, they would not indulge in any activity to create a law and order situation in the Valley.
It must be mentioned that three former Chief Ministers, Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, are among nearly 40 mainstream politicians who were taken into preventive detention prior to the abrogation of Article 370 by the Parliament on August 5.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
