SRINAGAR, India - Indian security forces injured at least six people on Saturday in Srinagar, the main city in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, as several protests broke out against New Delhi’s revocation of the region’s autonomy last week.
Jammu and Kashmir state officials and federal government officials in New Delhi did not respond to the allegations or give any estimates of the number of stone-throwing incidents, raids, arrests or injuries. In addition, many of the region’s urban areas remained in lockdown, and more than 500 political or community leaders and activists remained in detention, some of them having been flown to prisons outside the state.
In tears, she said her two-month-old son had been sleeping on the carpeted floor close to the window. “I grabbed him, but they beat my husband ruthlessly,” she said. “They sell crockery items - they are not stone pelters.”
