Last year six activists of the Shiv Sena were detained in Srinagar as police thwarted their bid to hoist a tricolor at Lal Chowk. The Shiv Sena activists arrived at Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower) in two vehicles and were taken into preventive custody as soon as they alighted, a police official said. The detained activists were taken to the Kothibagh police station where they were released after completing legal formalities.
