MLA Langate Er Rasheed was on Monday detained after he led a march to the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar to protest the recent civilian killings in Kashmir.

Rasheed along with supporters tried to march towards the secretariat but a police party stopped them and bundled the independent legislator and his supporters into a van.

Earlier, Rasheed said that they staged the march to protest the civilian killings and BJP leader Lal Singh’s threat to the Kashmiri journalists.

The controversial BJP leader, who was expelled from the cabinet for rallying in support of accused in Kathua rape-and-murder, had last week threatened the Kashmiri journalists for what he said “creating wrong narrative on Kathua case”.
