Scores of JKLF activists had joined the procession in the uptown Maisuma locality of Srinagar, shouting pro- independence slogans.

They later marched in the locality near Lal Chowk, the city centre.

The police, however, intercepted the procession and detained Malik along with other activists who were shifted to the local police station.

The hard-line separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani has called for a strike on Saturday to protest against 'the recent spate of arrests in Kashmir'.
