Scores of separatist leaders and their supporters were detained in Srinagar on Sunday in a police raid, which was aimed at “disallowing revival of the separatist Hurriyat and the J&K Liberation Front (JKLF)“.
A J&K Police spokesman said it carried out a search on the basis of credible information about the meeting of some “ex-terrorists” of the JKLF and “erstwhile separatists” in a hotel in Srinagar.
“They were brought to the Kothibagh Police Station for verification. An inquiry has started. Prima facie it came out that they were planning to revive the JKLF and the Hurriyat,” the spokesman said.
