Official sources said the two were BJP activists and carrying a flag for hoisting it on the Clock Tower. BJP activists might try to hoist the tricolour on the Clock Tower even before the Republic Day in view of the state government's decision not to allow the party to succeed in its plans, they said.

While the BJP state vice-president Sofi Yousuf was taken into preventive custody on Saturday night, six party activists were arrested on Saturday as they were found in breach of prohibitory orders in force in the city.
