Srinagar, Oct 25 (PTI) Chairman of Hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Shah Geelani and JKLF chairman Mohammad Yaseen Malik were detained today when they tried to march to Handwara in North Kashmir, where situation was rife after army shot dead a suspected militant.

They were taken into preventive custody when they tried to visit Handwara, alongwith their supporters, to meet the family of the youth who was allegedly killed by Army at Watergam village, 65 kms from here, yesterday, sources said.

Geelani, who was placed under house arrest at his Hyderpora residence on Srinagar-Airport road, was taken to Humhama Police Station after he broke the police cordon around his house and tried to leave for Handwara this afternoon.

Malik, alongwith half a dozen party activists were detained at Mirgund, 12 kms from here on Srinagar-Baramulla national highway, when they were on way to Handwara, the sources said.
