NEW DELHI ’s Lieutenant Governor has given the green light to prosecute controversial author Arundhati Roy under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

The news has sent shivers down the spine among the writers fraternity..

This stems from accusations that Roy made incendiary remarks at a Kashmir conference, suggesting that Kashmir was never a part of India and calling for its independence.

Evidence includes recordings where Roy allegedly claimed Kashmir was forcefully occupied by Indian armed forces.

Roy, who won the Booker Prize, now faces serious legal trouble over her statements.
