At least four youths were detained today after the police scuttled their demonstration at the premises of a college in Baramulla.

In a separate incident, security forces fired teargas shells to disperse student protesters in Kashmir's Baramulla district.

"Four youths were detained by plain-clothed policemen soon after a group of students assembled near the main gate of S P College along Maulana Azad road in the heart of Srinagar to stage a protest," a police official said.

It is not clear whether the detained youths are students of the college, he said.

The officials said intense clashes were also reported between students and law enforcing agencies from Palhallan area of north Kashmir's Baramulla district today.
