Kashmir strike One killed, 20 injured
A 16-year youth Asif Mehraj was killed in Maisuma after he was hit by a police teargas shell, while 20 persons including 11 policemen were injured in clashes between police and protesters in the valley.
Normal life was paralysed across Valley today in view of a separatist sponsored general strike for showing solidarity with Jammu Muslims. The strike call was given by Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and was supported by other separatist groups including Hurriyat (M).
People took to streets at Maisuma and held protest demonstrations. The demonstrators were protesting against the BJP and RSS for their alleged atrocities against Muslims in Jammu.
The youth were heading towards the Clock Tower at Lal Chowk, but a police contingent of police station Maisuma stopped them. The youth in turn pelted stones on police, who burst smoke shells, fired rubber bullets and resorted to lathi-charge.
A teargas shell hit Asif in his abdomen and he was rushed to the hospital in a police vehicle, where doctors declared him brought dead. As the news of death of Asif spread, people including women in hundreds assembled in Maisuma and chanted anti-government slogans. The protesters were joined by separatist leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Yasin Malik and Nayeem Khan.
The body of Asif was taken to Dalgate with a procession of hundreds of people and was laid to rest. At least two policemen and four civilians were injured when police tried to stop the procession in Badshah Chowk. The people in the procession pelted stones on police. During the march, the protesters were chanting slogans against the BJP and RSS. The protesters damaged the traffic booths on Moulana Azad Road up to Dalgate and Polo View. In Regal Chowk, the traffic booth was set on fire by the protesters.
