Srinagar/Sept,28: Law enforcing authorities on Friday placed under house arrest Hurriyat (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq under house arrest to prevent him from leading any protest rally against the killing of a civilian during a CASO in Srinagar Thursday this week.
A heavy contingent of the police arrived at Nigeen residence of the Mirwaiz and placed him under house arrest, said a spokesman.
Mirwaiz was planning to lead a rally from Jama Masjid to Noorbagh after Friday prayers against the killing of Saleem Malik during a cordon-and-search-operation yesterday, he said.
