Indian police arrest Kashmiri separatist leader

Indian police arrested the leader of a Kashmiri separatist group today, a day after they detained a woman with £70,000 (€113,000) in cash allegedly intended for him, officers said.

More than 100 officers ringed the office where Yasin Malik, leader of the Jammu-Kashmir Liberation Front, was holding a news conference. The JKLF is a former militant group that laid down its arms and became a political party.
