Srinagar: Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik was on Tuesday released.

He was arrested on July 8, the day when Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter at Kokernag in South Kashmir. Pertinently, Malik along with the Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani and Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq are jointly spearheading the ongoing agitation in Kashmir.
