Srinagar, Dec 10: Police today detained independent MLA from north Kashmir's Langate constituency, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, as he tried to lead a protest march to the office of State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) here on the occasion of World Human Rights Day.

Rashid, along with many supporters of his Awami Ittehad Party, assembled near his residential quarters at Jawahar Nagar here and marched towards SHRC office, a party spokesman said.
