Kranti Sena chief detained outside NIT in Srinagar

Police detained Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena president Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga on Monday outside the NIT here when he tried to enter the campus.

"Bagga and his two associates were detained by the Jammu and Kashmir Police while they were trying to enter the National Institute of Technology here," a senior police officer told IANS.

Reports said Bagga, who reached outside the NIT in Hazratbal area, wanted to enter the NIT campus to unfurl the Tricolour and show solidarity with the striking outstation students.
