Srinagar, Dec 10 (IANS) Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik was arrested here on Sunday while leading a protest march.

Police arrested Malik and lodged him in the Kothibagh police station.
Separatists had called for a protest march to UNMOGIP headquarters in Srinagar to highlight what they said were human rights violations in Kashmir.
