National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Sunday claimed he and his family, including his father and Member of Parliament Farooq Abdullah, have been put under house arrest by authorities.

“It’s bad enough they’ve locked my father (a sitting MP) & me in our home, they’ve locked my sister & her kids in their home as well,” Omar wrote on Twitter. The former J&K chief minister also posted photographs showing police vehicles outside the gates of his residence in the Gupkar area of the city here. Omar also alleged that his house staff was not being let inside.
