Former Jammu and Kashmir state chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti Monday said that they were placed under house arrest ahead of the Supreme Court of India's verdict on a batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution that conferred a special status on the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

However, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and the police said no one was put under house arrest or arrested.
