Violence erupts in Kashmir over Geelani's house arrest
Reports said the state police and Central Reserve Police Force personnel used batons and burst tear gas shells to disperse the mob that indulged in heavy stone throwing in several places.
At some places in Srinagar city, masked youths waved Pakistani and ISIS flags.
Geelani was not allowed to offer prayers in a mosque on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr as he remained under house arrest since his return from New Delhi on April 15.
