Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah turned 50 on Tuesday and spent the day at Hari Nivas here where he has been under detention for the last seven months.

Detained under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA), Omar had a quiet day in the sub-jail not far from his residence on Gupkar road. His mother, sisters and some other members of the family met him for sometime in the afternoon.

His father and five-time former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, himself a PSA detainee, could not meet his son on his special day.

Both Abdullahs have been in detention since August 5 following abrogation of special status and bifurcation of erstwhile state into two union territories.

On his 50th birthday, the Twitter handle of Omar saw a message from his sister Sara Abdullah Pilot who said she would be temporarily managing the account.
