"District Administration, Jammu has ordered detention of Yasir Alfaz under Public Safety Act (PSA), in connection with his involvement in the sacrilegious act at Aap Shambu Temple in Janipur on June 14," an official spokesperson said here.
His detention under the provisions of the act took place yesterday -- less than 24 hours before he had to be produced before duty magistrate after the expiry of his six day police remand.
The incident sparked violence and arson in the city.
On June 16, another man entered a temple in the Nanak Nagar area and tried to vandalize it, again triggering violent protests.
