Naim Geelani was arrested at around 10 a.m. when he was on his way to the residence of his father, the hardline Hurriyat leader, at Hyderpora here. "He was not allowed inside the house and police arrested him," a family source said .The arrest comes ahead of the senior Geelani's scheduled "address to the nation" over telephone on Saturday afternoon. The police has barred the entry of the senior Geelani's family members, media and most visitors to his residence. "Authorities have also installed jammers at the residence to block all phone connectivity," the source added. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had in mid August summoned Naim Geelani and questioned him in connection with a Preliminary Enquiry registered by the probe agency. The state police and security agencies have been picking up many separatist leaders and their party workers, and even those the government feels are "instigators" of the violence.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
