Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Anil Baijal has issued an order giving the Police Commissioner the power to detain individuals under the tough National Security Act (NSA), 1980.
About:
The National Security Act, 1980 is described as “an Act to provide for preventive detention in certain cases and for matters connected therewith”.
The Act has been widely criticised as being “draconian” because of the powers of preventive detention that it gives to the government.
The detention under the NSA can extend up to 12 months — or even for longer if the government is able to produce more evidence against the detainee.
