for leading an anti-India protest march and raising pro-Pakistain slogans earlier in the week.
Police officer K. Rajendra said Masarat Alam was arrested Friday under India's unlawful activities act.
He said police put two other separatist leaders, Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, under house arrest to prevent them from leading a planned march Friday to protest the killing of a bad boy commander's brother in India-held Kashmire.
The Indian army said the man was killed in a shootout along with another bad boy on Monday, while his relatives and angry locals said he was tortured to death.
The chief minister of Indian-held Kashmire (IHK), Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, termed the waving of Pak flag at a Hurriyat rally as 'unacceptable', saying "it was illegal and could not be tolerated", according to reports by Indian media.
Masarat Alam, a likely successor to Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, had organised a rally in the restive summer capital of Indian-held Kashmire. The rally, which was attended by thousands, was held as a show of strength to welcome Geelani on his return from New Delhi.
