After violence and arson marred Eid celebrations in Srinagar on Saturday, the police on Sunday morning registered an FIR against Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the chairman of the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference.
Mirwaiz has been accused of instigating violence and arson, which started when an expected peaceful protest march from Idgah to Lal Chowk on the occasion of Eid, turned violence causing damage to public and private property. (ANI)
