Initial reports coming from Shopian said that police men had come to arrest Tehreek-e-Hurriyat (TeH) Shopian chief, Muhammad Yousuf Falahi.

“People came out of their homes and started protesting,” local reports said.

“Forces fired tear gas canisters to disperse off the protestors but youth resorted to intense stone pelting forcing the men in uniform out of the village,” local sources said.

Falahi, a religious scholar, is a top pro-freedom leader in South Kashmir who lead many rallies and addressed scores others since July 09, 2016. He is associated with Syed Ali Geelani led TeH.
