Jammu: Curfew was on Sunday clamped in three more districts in the tense Jammu region and Army staged flag marches as J&K government made violence-hit Kishtwar out of bounds for politicians, detaining BJP leader Arun Jaitley at airport here and turning him back.

One more body was found in Kishtwar, 226 kms from here, which remained curfew bound for the third consecutive day on Sunday following communal clashes on Friday that left two persons dead and scores of others injured, but authorities were yet to ascertain if he was a victim of violence.

Curfew was imposed in Jammu and Rajouri districts and Army called out after some incidents of arson and violence last night. It was today extended to Udhampur, Samba and Kathua along with Bhaderwah town in Doda, thus affecting seven out of 10 districts of Jammu region.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley was detained as he arrived at the airport here on his way to Kishtwar, drawing sharp reaction from BJP which termed it as "undemocratic".
