Top hardline separatist leader arrested in Srinagar

Jammu and Kashmir Police had yesterday arrested Andrabi,leader of the radical all-women group Dukhtaran-e-Millat (Daughters of the Faith). She was picked up from her hideout by a special team along with her ‘second-in-command’ Fahmeeda. Andrabi,who has been leading a separatist campaign,had been evading arrest for long.

Reshi was wanted by police for anti-national activities and indulging in separatist violence.

These leaders have been acting in tandem with another separatist leader Masarat Alam,who is said to be behind the stone-pelting campaign in the Valley. Alam is still evading arrest.
