Srinagar: Police on Monday detained senior pro-freedom leader and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik during a protest march against Shopian killings in Srinagar’s Lal Chowk area.

Malik was protesting against killings in Shopian last evening where four civilians and two militants were killed by the Army.

JKLF chief tried to march from his Maisuma residence towards Lal Chowk where a large posse of police and paramilitary forces stopped him near Badshah Bridge and detained him, an eyewitness said.
