In a major breakthrough,Jammu and Kashmir Police today arrested hardline separatist leader Asiya Andrabi along with an accomplice from the outskirts of the city.

A team lead by SSP,Srinagar,Ashiq Bukhari nabbed Andrabi along with her second in command,Fahmeeda,from Malpor Zakura this morning.

Andrabi,who has been leading a separatist campaign,had been evading arrest for long. Several crack teams were formed to nab her and her arrest is said to be significant in view of the fact that she has been out of the police net for long.

Andrabi,who is heading Dukhtaran-e-Millat,a women’s separatist organisation,has been acting in tandem with another separatist leader Masarat Alam,who is said to be behind the stone-pelting campaign in the state. Alam is evading arrest.
