Protests as Man Dies Mysteriously in South Kashmir

Protests erupted in a south Kashmir village after a young man was found dead this morning, witnesses say.

Bilal Ahmed Dar’s body was found by local residents in a field near the railway track at Monghalla village, reportedly covered with a plastic sheet.

His nephew, Mohsin told freepresskashmir that Dar was picked up by the police late on Monday and was allegedly killed in custody.

But police deny this. “I spoke to brother of the deceased. He said he does not blame the police but only wanted us to investigate and bring out the truth,” Superintendent of Police, Showkat Ahmed said.

Police have registered a case and Dar’s body has been sent for post mortem.
