In its August 28 order, the Supreme Court had allowed Communist leader Sitaram Yechury and the law student to travel to the Valley, which has been under a security lockdown since August 5 when Article 370 was scrapped in the state, under police protection and asked the two to submit a report on their return.
The student handed over the affidavit to the judge in a sealed envelope on Thursday while adding that whatever he mentions in it may have a bearing on his future. “I want to live a quiet and uneventful life.”
The top court had ordered allowing Kashmir visits of the Law student and the CPM leader while hearing a bunch of petitions – some against the scrapping of Article 370 in Kashmir, others against the arrest of leaders, restrictions on movement and ‘suspension of civil liberty’.
