SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yaseen Malik was detained Friday late night from his residence here amid indications of a wider crackdown on separatists in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
Police and paramilitary forces have been put on high alert but there was no confirmation about any more detentions.
Malik was arrested from his Maisuma residence today late night and was shifted to police station Kothibagh.
The action comes eight days after an audacious terror attack on a convoy in Pulwama district in which 40 CRPF personnel lost their lives.
