Jammu and Kashmir police have arrested a French journalist while shooting documentary on pellet victims, and booked him under Passport Act.
The former TV Channel TF 1 French journalist, Paul Comiti , police officials said, was arrested from Pratap Park Srinagar on Saturday while he was preparing a documentary on the pellet victims.
Police said they have registered FIR vide number 87/2017 under section 14 (B) Passport Act and Comiti is presently lodged in Police Station Kothi Bagh.
The act, police said, envisages seizure of passport or travel documents from any person against whom a reasonable suspicion exists that he has committed any offense punishable under section 12.
