Though the police has claimed that Shah was arrested on August 22 in connection with the killing of senior Hurriyat leader, Sheikh Abdul Aziz, the state government revoked the charges against him on Monday, but took him into custody again when he stepped out of the central jail this morning.
He was rearrested by a large posse of policemen in the presence of hundreds of supporters who had come to receive him outside the jail.
Reports said that Shah’s supporters tried to resist his re-arrest but the police forced him into a vehicle and whisked him off to Uri.
