The hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference had been informed about his house arrest,the sources said.
On hearing the news,a handful of Geelani’s supporters indulged in stone-pelting outside the residence of the separatist leader resulting in injuries to a cameraman of a TV news agency,they said.
