Police foils JKLF protest march; Yasin Malik among ten held

Police resorted to baton charge to scuttle the march, started from JKLF headquarters at Maisuma shortly after the Friday paryers, sources said.

JKLF had called for Lal Chowk march after a TADA court in Jammu awarded life sentence to two of its members for killing a BSF officer.

Police fired dozens of teargas shells and used batons to chase away stone-pelters. However, no one was hurt in the clashes which continued for a few hours bringing normal life in the area to a standstill, sources said.

Malik has also threatened a 'Jail baro' agitation.
